Princess Maithgemm of the Strathclyde Britons is hiding in the Norse settlement at Kirkjaster. Every day she looks across the River Clut to the lands that rightfully belong to her son, but claiming them might put both of their lives at risk. Staying with the Norsemen, however, is becoming intolerable thanks to one man — Arne Olafsson. He sees her not as a victim, but as an enemy. When she learns that even the other Britons fear that her presence compromises their safety, she takes her son and flees — straight into a snowstorm.
Brutally tortured and left for dead, Arne Olafsson has a reputation as a fierce warrior but is recognised by his scars — scars that cover almost his entire body. Betrayed by a former lover, he avoids relationships. After all, who needs a woman who might kill you? When he follows the princess onto the moors, he fears she’s leading him into an ambush.
Instead, they find themselves stranded in a snowstorm on the moors. Just as a tentative trust develops, the past returns to drive a wedge between them.
Do their lives, or deaths, lie together or alone?
The Viking’s Princess Bride is a historical romance set in ninth-century Strathclyde. It is the third of four books in the Brothers of Thunder series.
