  The Wolves of Odin have been unleashed: the hunt has begun. 
   
  Anno Domini 1040. Christianity has swept unstoppably across Scandinavia, leaving few enclaves of the old ways clinging on to their fading world as King Olof of Sweden works to convert his people. A young warrior, Halfdan, has witnessed the ‘mercy’ of the Christian lords, watched his people attacked, his village burned and the Odin stone toppled as heretical. Watched his father cut down by an ambitious Christian jarl and his zealous priest. Among the ashes of his world, he vowed an oath of vengeance before all the gods. That oath will bring together an unlikely band of allies and carry them to the very edge of the world, fighting giants, dragons and wraiths, in pursuit of his father’s killer: Yngvar. The jarl is powerful, and the weaving of Fate difficult, but the blood price must be paid. 
   
  “An intelligent, fast-paced but finely crafted novel of battle, comradeship and bloody revenge – with some surprising twists along the way. Highly recommended to all those who enjoy a superior Viking adventure yarn!” ANGUS DONALD

  In 1783, Liam Brock, David Graham, and Elisabeth Hale crossed the Atlantic on a life-changing voyage. Together by chance, bound by choice—their story continues in this "sweeping epic". (Kirkus Reviews) 
  When the orphaned Liam Brock first set foot in Philadelphia, he was brimming with aspirations. Now, seven years later, he faces a startling sensation of loss as his constant companions, David and Elisabeth, begin a life apart. Aimless for the first time in his life, he forgoes opportunities to pursue his passion for law and continues dallying with a variety of Philadelphia's young women. His poor Scottish roots and questionable parentage, always a sore spot, suddenly impede any possibility of a profession—at least in his own mind. 
  Then Elisabeth's childhood friend, the fiery and independent Rhiannon Ross, comes to town, seeking reprieve from a misguided marriage. Though yet another reminder of his limitations, she grabs Liam's interest from the outset, compelling him to open his heart once more to life's possibilities. 
  "An investment worth making for the author’s vivid historical detail and convincing slice-of-life predicaments. Historical fiction fans should take note." ~ Publishers Weekly

  A Scottish saga of hope and overcoming adversity from Sunday Times betselling author Evelyn Hood 
  Can a simple fisher lass rise above adversity to realise her ambitions? 
  Buckthorne Scotland, 1873 
  All alone, following her mother death, seventeen-year-old Eden Murray returns to her deceased father’s fishing village in search if her roots and a future. 
  Eden has worked in the fishing industry since the age of twelve and is soon employed by local businesswoman Euphemia Ross. Her Uncle Caleb provides her a home out of a sense of duty when Eden is subjected to the unwanted advances of her cousin, John. 
  Much to Euphemia’s annoyance, Eden and her son Lewis Ross strike up a friendship. But Euphemia has grander plans for her son and is hostile towards Eden in preventing them ever having a future together. 
  Eden sets her own ambitions higher than being a simple fisher lass but soon learns a terrible secret and is cast off by the family. 
  But good fortune favours Eden when an unexpected inheritance changes the course of her life. Suddenly she has the means and determination to fight back against those who have wronged her. 
  But can a hastily made marriage vow to the wrong man and her continued longing for Lewis Ross threaten the business she is building?
