Description:
Travel
across oceans, continents and countries to discover the story of
legendary Viking hero, Holger Danske, and his magical romance with
King Arthur’s half-sister in Morgaine Le Fay and the Viking.
This
is the story of two warriors who never thought they’d find love,
especially on the battlefield, yet standing poised against each other
Morgaine and Holger face an attraction more powerful than any sword,
stronger than any warrior and more magical than all the powers of
Merlin.
THREE
reasons to read a Viking Romance:
- Ragnar;
- Lagertha; and,
- Rollo
But
seriously, during the dark ages, the Vikings were more than merely
heathen marauders. In truth, they were brave explorers. Men and women
who took the original Captain’s Oath, vowing to
explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new
civilizations, to boldly go where no man (or woman) had gone before.
They
were not the pillagers that the British portrayed them to be but
people searching for new lands and new civilizations and along the
way, they faced gripping family sagas that questioned more than their
strength, agility and patience. These journeys brought into question
alliances and loyal friendships, while testing their faith. And,
there was nothing more important than family relationships. If a
Viking couldn’t count on his family to help him survive, he
perished.
But
it wasn’t only the men, these warriors were women as well as men,
who stood side by side on the battlefield. Perhaps that is the reason
and the truth behind the tales of the Valkyrie and Valhalla, which
still haunt the stories of the Vikings.
MORGAINE
LE FAY AND THE VIKING is
one such tale of the extraordinary lives and epic adventures of two
people: Holger Danske and Morgaine LeFey.
And
Holger Danske was not the first Danish Prince to appear on the
printed page or to share a well-known castle as his home. Hamlet’s
story is set in the same structure that stands on the sound between
Denmark and Sweden. Holger’s home is in Kronborg Castle, known to
most English speaking people as Hamlet’s Castle.
It
was there, inside this Castle that I first was introduced to Holger
Danske and the legends surrounding his iconic life. He was a warrior,
a Prince destined to become King of all the Norse lands during the
time of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table.
I
found it odd that everyone had heard of King Arthur and his magical
sword, Excalibur, which he received from the Lade of the Lake (a
Norse Goddess) who had also given such a sword to Holger Danske.
Holger’s sword was named “Cortana”, and was made from the same
metal and magic as Excalibur. Yet no one I talked to outside of
Denmark had ever heard of Holger or his sword.
And,
even more interesting was the fact that Holger and the Vikings
invaded England, yet somehow, even as enemies, Holger and King
Arthur’s half-sister, Morgaine LeFey, were able to share a
forbidden love.
Theirs
was a romance that threatened two kingdoms.
MORGAINE
LE FAY AND THE VIKING is
the secret Denmark
never shares...until now. Morgaine and Holger faced an attraction
more powerful than any sword, stronger than any warrior and more
magical than all the powers of Merlin.
Kimbra
Kasch is a romance writer who grew up in a family with 9 kids and
only 1 t.v. So instead of fighting with her brothers and sisters
about which shows to watch, she’d spend her days reading and,
later, writing, which explains why she love books so much.
Kimbra’s
favorite romance novels are The Hunger Games, the Divergent Series
and, yes, even the Twilight books. She loves something with a hint of
danger and/or paranormal.
