The Scarlet Lioness

In twelfth-century Ire, a redheaded orphan is saved by a legendary warrior. Trained by him, she becomes a legend herself amongst the villages of Scandinavia, a land torn by inner wars. One battle sends Scarlet on a course that brings her to John-the Duke of Agammar and her birth father, and Henry-his ward and only heir, but not his son by blood. When she stays longer than planned, she unwillingly ruins someone's plan to get rid of Henry, and by saving his life once, she realizes their fates are entwined and she must do all she can to save his life, even if it means losing her own . . .
