Viking Wolf by Gina Dale
Under Viking rule the rolling hills of Yorkshire are a dangerous place, particularly for women. Kidnapping, pillaging and infighting are rife. When Ralf, a Viking, discovers his Saxon wife and daughter have been kidnapped, he is quick to suspect Ivar the Boneless, King of Jorvik. Ubba, Ivar's brother, has already befriended Ralf, admiring him for making a life in a new country as a lone Dane. When it emerges, that Ivar is not responsible, Ubba assists Ralf on a mission to reclaim his family from slave traders. Torri, wife of Ubba and fierce shieldmaiden, will bloody her hands to protect her sons, the Ragnarsson heirs, at any cost. The might of their bloodline is recognised the world over, with tales of blood eagles and berserking striking fear into hardened warriors... but the whispers of war are getting louder. Can Ubba the reluctant king put a stop to his volatile brother's lust for power and destruction? Or will Ivar's fits of rage and jealousy threaten everything they have fought for?
Dale, Gina: - Gina Dale is an historical and romantic fiction author. Her works include Viking Wolf, set during the Viking command of Yorkshire in the late 9th and early 10th centuries - when its rolling hills were rife with kidnapping, killing and infighting and fierce shieldmaidens would do anything to protect their families. She was inspired to write about the Vikings in Yorkshire following an ancestry DNA test which revealed she had nearly 10% Scandinavian heritage and 84% pure Yorkshire. She is also the creator of the Brushstrokes historical fiction trilogy (Brushstrokes, Darkness Falls and Drama Unfolds) which is based on the life of Carolus-Duran, a celebrated late 19th century artist who was a contemporary of Monet, Manet and Renoir and teacher to John Singer Sargent. The first two novels tell of Carolus-Duran's courtship and marriage to the beautiful and aristocratic Marie, followed by their joy from the birth of their first daughter and their despair during the Franco-Prussian war. Drama Unfolds follows the life of Carolus-Duran's eldest daughter as she embarks on one of the greatest adventures of her life whilst navigating the social rules of late 19th century Europe. Gina Dale lives in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. The author has her own website www.ginadalepublishing.com where further information may be obtained.
