Publisher Description
Vivacious and imperious, ambitious and devious, jealous and sensuous, bounteous and beauteous—that was Gunnhild, enchantress daughter of King Gorm of the Danes.
Her provocative nature is swept by desire for the golden Viking of her dreams—Eirik Bloodaxe. She is lured and spellbound by one Thorolf Skallagrimsson. Befriended and abetted by King Harald Finehair of Norway. Intrigued and importuned by Gregory, King Athelstan’s emissary from England.
High Priestess of Fertility, and loyal follower of Freyja, Goddess of Loving, whose symbol is the falcon, Gunnhild uses her powers of witchcraft and divination to aid the struggle against the Serpent, the Prince of Evil, and to realise her dream to become High Queen of Norway.
\Abducted by Lapland sorcerers to become a neophyte in the magic arts, Gunnhild is finally borne upon the swell of fate and by the sweep of love, to magnificent destiny.
