From a USA Today Bestselling Author. A Viking saves the woman he loves from the wrath of a vengeful king. The plot is based on historical fact. King Harthacanute ordered the destruction of the prosperous market town of Worcester and the slaughter of all its inhabitants in retaliation for the murder of two tax collectors. It’s also documented that Earl Leofric reluctantly obeyed and destroyed the town, but that few lost their lives. My story is a fictional account of how that came about, thanks to the intervention of one of the king’s Viking messengers who fell in love with a girl he met on her way to Worcester’s Yuletide market. Lady Godiva (yes, that one) also puts in a cameo appearance. She was the wife of Earl Leofric. A heartwarming Yuletide story set in medieval England before the Norman Conquest.
