Romance Historical
Éire’s Captive Moon, the first book of Sandi Layne’s Éire’s
Viking Trilogy, brings you to the unsettled era of the early
Viking raids along the coast of Éire – today’s Ireland. Red-striped sails make their first appearance on the shores
near the village of Ragor and the peaceful life of the
villagers is obliterated in one deadly raid. Agnarr
Halvardson and his overlord, Tuirgeis, have come to Éire for
treasure, honor, and slaves. After slaying her husbands, Agnarr claims Charis, the healer
of the village, as his personal medicine woman – and sex
slave. Cowan, a local prince, is captured by Tuirgeis to
serve as translator for trading journeys. Leaving the
smoking ruins of Ragor and Bangor Monastery behind them – as
well as the children Charis had carefully hidden from the
Northmen – the invaders sail away. Cowan, a Christian, is captivated by the pale, widowed
herbalist, and finds himself in love with her by the time
they reach Nordweg, where they will spend the winter. He is
compelled to leave her, however, to serve his master. The winter brings many trials. An invasion from another
village’s warriors throws Cowan and Charis together more
intimately than she is prepared to handle equitably. Her own
feelings are growing uncertain, though she reminds herself
that she has to return to Éire and the children she left
there. As winter passes in Nordweg, Charis plans vengeance
upon Agnarr even as she learns to see him differently. Beset
by accusations of witchcraft, hounded by Agnarr’s betrothed
and her slave – a refugee Charis herself healed more than a
year before – and having to adapt to the strange language
and customs among the people around her, Charis still makes
her plans. Will she be able to put aside her feelings and
escape when spring returns?
