This was my intro to Miriam's style of story telling, and it took very few pages to become acclimated/addicted? A very enjoyable romp in fictional Viking history. I found only one potential error, in that our hero Hakon used stirrups to mount his steed. The Battle of Hastings (1066) was won due to the invention/use of stirrups, and this story‘s time-line preceeded that by nearly a century. A fascinating read though, and highly recommended. How Hakon missed the lash marks on Gwendolyn‘s legs amazed me, but I guess we write that off to the old love is blind....
