Viking women fight for legal rights in 8th century Sweden!
Blonde, teenage Havi lives on her parent's goat ranch. When an aged, visiting dignitary arrives, seeking men and dragonships for his viking fleet, Havi's clan chief agrees to his terms ... if he will marry a daughter of his clan. Havi tries to refuse only to learn women don't have the legal right to refuse any marriage. Havi endures a horrific wedding night ... and discovers her aged husband rules the largest clan in Sweden. Stolen from her only home, Havi arrives at the first city she's ever seen. Trapped in unfamiliar surroundings, Havi becomes emeshed in deadly family politics. Angrily exploding, Havi determines to learn the Den Skaance Lov, the law code of Sweden, and give women the legal rights she was unjustly denied.
In an age of endless war, where laws are made by men, Viking women fight with every weapon they have to get and keep legal rights!
"Fighting with swords or laws: it's a toss up which is more difficult. I empathized with many of the characters and their plights. It was interesting and challenging looking with modern eyes and at the same time thinking in the times of the story. A good read. Here's to strong Women!" --J.d. Johann Shush
"Give yourself a nice stretch of time to read this, because you won't want to put it down! Intrigue, betrayal, joy, wit, warfare - it's all here, woven into a strong story. I was drawn into Havi's world, learning about her new home and new dangers through her eyes. I felt all of her despair, her fury, her … Well. I don't want to spoil it for you." --Sharon Kayon
