Steamy Historical Viking Romance Velika is a mighty Norse Sword Maiden. The women of her settlement have managed to maintain their independence without any help from men – until, that is, several Danish Longships show up. While Birgen, whom the Danes sent to coordinate their combined forces, tries to work with Velika, she still can't trust him due to her past and an unwillingness to rely on any man again. This is the third story in the Viking Settlers series.
