Their
love was forbidden. But echoed in eternity.
When
Mia inherits her beloved grandmother's summer cottage, Birch Thorpe,
in Sweden, she faces a dilemma. Her fiance Charles urges her to sell
and buy a swanky London home, but Mia cannot let it go easily. The
request to carry out an archaeological dig for more Viking artefacts
like the gold ring Mia's grandmother also left her, offers her a
reprieve from a decision - and from Charles.
Whilst
Mia becomes absorbed in the dig's discoveries, she finds herself
drawn to archaeologist Haakon Berger. Like her, he can sense the past
inhabitants whose lives are becoming more vivid every day. Trying to
resist the growing attraction between them, Mia and Haakon begin to
piece together the story of a Welsh noblewoman, Ceri, and the
mysterious Viking, known as the 'White Hawk', who stole her away from
her people in 869 AD.
As
the present begins to echo the past, and enemies threaten Birch
Thorpe's inhabitants, they will all have to fight to protect what has
become most precious to each of them...
'Courtenay's
writing brings the past vividly to life, using dual-period narrative

'Christina
Courtenay weaves the threads of her contemporary and Viking love

pace. The characters are appealing and the rural Swedish setting is
engaging' JUDITH LENNOX
Christina
Courtenay writes historical romance, time slip and time travel
stories, and lives in Herefordshire (near
the Welsh border) in the UK. Although born in England, she has a
Swedish mother and was brought up in Sweden – hence her abiding
interest in the Vikings. Christina is a former chairman
of the UK’s Romantic Novelists’ Association and has won several
awards, including the RoNA for Best Historical Romantic Novel twice
with Highland Storms (2012) and The Gilded
Fan (2014) and the RNA Fantasy Romantic Novel of the year
2021 with Echoes of the Runes. Whispers of
the Runes (time travel published by Headline 24th June
2021) is her latest novel. Christina is a keen amateur genealogist
and loves history and archaeology (the armchair variety).
