About this ebook

Asa, beautiful pagan princess in 9th century Norway, rebels when her betrothal to Prince Olaf is forbidden.

Impetuous and lovely daughter of a swanmaiden, she seeks her own solution and finds the arrows of fate direct her to exotic realms of opulence and intrigue.

Enslaved by Spanish Moors. Bought by a Blackamoor. Groomed as a dancing girl in the Sacred Palace of Byzantium. Presented to the Emperor at the Circus Games. Chosen for his pleasure and his bed. Driven to escape. Hounded in pursuit. Asa is finally swept back to her Father’s Court in Norway to face the shrouds of evil, the ruthlessness of an ambitious King, and the necessity for vengeance, before she finds her destiny and the peace of love.

Set against a backcloth of Eastern passion and Viking aggression this story of one of the most famous of Norwegian Queens breathes with atmosphere and compels with suspense.
