957 C.E. Orkney Islands, Kingdom of Norway.
Oddný Einarsdóttir, 15, brims with excitement as she sets sail with her dashing foster brother. After a decade of separation, she’s about to reunite with her father at his homestead in Iceland. But it is not to be. Just days into their voyage, she’s screaming helplessly as the vikings butcher her foster brother before her eyes and drag her off with the booty.
A slave market would have been agony enough. But Oddný has already caught the lecherous eye of her brutal sea-king captor: Örlygr Thrasason.
The Sword begins the saga of Oddný Einarsdóttir, a young Norwegian woman struggling to reclaim her life after three shattering years in bondage. Passion, resilience, love and vengeance unfold against a rich backdrop of medieval slavery, civil war and the day-to-day life of 10th century Norway.
