Romance Historical

Viking raiders destroyed Wilda's home. She witnessed the murder of her mother and would have been killed herself if it weren't for the Viking boy Einar, who saved her from his ruthless brother. The blood and murder left Wilda cold and shorn of feeling.

Eight years later, the heathens return for Wilda. As a captive in the Viking village, she finds protection and silent comfort in the man who once gallantly saved her.

Einar has been cursed to silence by his brother. With the dark net of his brother's power cast over their village, silence is a small price to pay for his family's safety. But Einar is immediately drawn to Wilda, and the need to protect her from his brother awakens his Viking courage. Can Einar break his brother's curse in time to save the village and the woman he loves?

Re: The Viking's Sacrifice

Your question sort of threw me for a loop, because you're asking for names off the top of my head. From books I've read recently, names like Ranger, or Rhett would come to mind for heroes. Names that would make me think twice would be like Billy. I can't give you a Norse name, because that isn't my normal genre of book to read.

Thank you for a great post! As a reader, character names can make or break a story for me. I love dark and dangerous heroes and I just can't picture a tough hero with a name like Chuck or Carl.
I have read books where I couldn't pronounce a name and sadly just created a new sound or word to replace the name each time I came across it. So for me names really do make a difference. A couple of names that ring nicely for me would be Frehr, Sindri and Terje.

I think the reason you had so much trouble picking a name for your hero is that one is supposed to live up to a name. Common ones don't get me excited unless they're whispered in a love scene.
