Refusing to become her brother-in-law’s plaything, Sigrid leaves the only home she’s known on the day of her twin sister’s marriage. She packs a bag – and her sword – and sets sail across the channel for her uncles’s keep in search of her mother’s dowry.

The gems are long gone when she arrives, but her uncle proposes an idea which could bring them both the income they need…if only by agreeing Sigrid didn’t have to risk her life!
