Waiting in Wednesday #54

"His deadliest enemy will become his heart s desire."

Caius doesn t feel like much of a Christian. He loves his life of learning as a monk in the far-flung stronghold of Fara, but the hot warrior blood of his chieftain father flows in his veins. Heat soothed only in the arms of his sweet-natured friend and lover, Leof.

When Leof is killed during a Viking raid, Cai s grieving heart thirsts for vengeance and he has his chance with Fenrir, a wounded young Viking warrior left for dead. But instead of reaching for a weapon, Cai finds himself defying his abbot s orders and using his healing skills to save Fen s life.

At first, Fen repays Cai s kindness by attacking every Christian within reach. But as time passes, Cai s persistent goodness touches his heart. And Cai, who had thought he would never love again, feels the stirring of a profound new attraction.

Yet old loyalties call Fen back to his tribe and a relentless quest to find the ancient secret of Fara a powerful talisman that could render the Vikings indestructible, and tear the two lovers bonds beyond healing.
