An oath made is a debt that must be paid. Sweden 880 Astrid is free, widowed after two years in an unwanted marriage. She wants to reclaim her life and become the warrior she always wanted to be, just like her father. Horrified by her best friend’s unwelcome proposal, she flees everything she has ever known for a chance at life across the Baltic Sea, assuming a new identity in a land unknown. Aldeigjuborg, in the land of the Rus’, is far different to her native homeland but, with the support of her new mentor, she is given the opportunity to create a life within the walls of a town she would have previously dreamed of raiding.

Soon, Astrid realises everything has a price, and a promise made can have unintended consequences. Fans of adventurous Viking stories will be captivated by Oath Undo Me. Be transported to Gardarike (the land of the Rus') in book one of the Viking Trading Lands series, inspired by archaeological evidence. Editorial Review "The second book of two, partly adventure, partly drama. Enjoyed the first book, Oath Undo Me, but I think the second is better. I loved the time and setting, and the protagonist, Astrid, is fun to root for. She's tough, determined and everything a hero needs to be." Female reader from The Wishing Shelf Awards.

Her reunion with her husband, Kjarr, is long-awaited but bittersweet. She has yet to tell him of their daughter’s death, her own near-fatal encounters, and the reappearance of a former lover. She is not the only one with secrets to tell. A skald weaves a haunting melody of impending sorrow as a forbidden union threatens the burgeoning Rus’ dynasty. Prince Mal, the war-hungry Drevlian leader, bears the brunt of Grand Prince Oleg’s desire for territorial domination. Behind the facade of noble boyars, fierce druzhina warriors, and their cunning wives, the Kyiv court becomes a battlefield of treachery and deadly rivalries. With destiny and loyalty hanging in the balance, Astrid must trust the voice that guides her, even if that means defying her husband. As her fate intertwines with the Kyiv nobles and their pursuit of power, Astrid must grapple with duty and her ambition, a struggle that will shape the future of the Rus’.
