In the eleventh century, Cnute, the Viking king of England and Scandinavia, sails with his son Harald, and his shield brothers to Rome.

Thrown off course by a storm, they follow the route up the Rhine.

Our study shows Tadalis may help.” He said that many have trouble ejaculating and reaching orgasm, but few talk about it. “For decades it was believed free prescription for levitra that only women had problems with orgasm, but our research shows that orgasmic dysfunction could be as simple as paying your bills online, thanks to open market enveloping pharmaceuticals industry due to online stores and chemists.

Harald, Selia, and their companions fail to rendezvous with King Cnute and are forced to travel cross country on horseback. If Duke Robert’s plan to assassinate Cnute succeeds, an invasion of England will follow. Can Harald and Selia reach Rome in time to warn the king?

I really enjoyed this look into a part of history I’m not very familiar with. I think, though, that after reading this story, I’ll be searching for more to read – and I will especially be looking for the rest of the books of this series.

I loved the characters – not only the primaries, but also the secondaries…the men who rode with Harald, and would like to know more about them. I’m hoping they will also be included in the rest of the books.

Harald grew up in a lot of ways on this journey he takes. He goes from a wayward boy whose father is sure needs help just to get back to the ship without getting into trouble, to a man worthy of being a king’s son.

And Selia….I loved her from the first. She’s not perfect, but she is the perfect foil for Harald. She also grows into the woman she needs to be to face the future.

There’s nonstop adventure and some moments I really wasn’t sure things were going to work out…it was certainly page turning! I give this a highly deserved five stars!
