Welcome to Medieval Monday. Bambi Lynn is my guest author today.
Rape and pillage are at play here. Ah, Vikings play the villain here.
Excerpt #9
“Can I count on you to serve me as you did my uncle?”
Rolf bowed his head so slightly, Kaylla almost did not notice. “I loved your uncle like a father. My loyalty does not waver.”
Boddi considered him. Strange that he would regard Rolf the same as she. Could he be trusted?
“So be it. We march to Axning at cock’s crow.”
More than a handful of girls were ushered over for Boddi’s inspection. A few of them he sent away after a mere glance. “Too young.” Of those remaining, one was not just a maid, but an old maid. Udela had never caught the eye of a man. And for good reason. This day she had the bad luck to catch Boddi’s eye. “This one’s no maid.”

The Valiant Viking
Can a foundering seaside village survive the onslaught of marauding Vikings bearing down on them?
Desperate to save her village from a band of Norsemen sweeping down the coastline, Kaylla catches her first ray of hope when she discovers one of the pillaging heathens washed ashore. Perhaps they can use this captive to bargain for the safety of their village. Rolf Bloodhands, sole survivor of a traitorous attack on his king’s fleet, assures her that his kinsmen will not spare the easy conquest of their waning village for the life of one man. Instead he teaches them the basics of defense and combat with the meager weapons they have available. If they fail to stave off the invaders, the few villagers left will either be killed or enslaved.
With only two days to prepare for an invasion sure to decimate her village, Kaylla is shocked by her attraction to the hunky Norseman she has enslaved. Who knew fear of imminent death could drive an innocent woman to explore the oldest sins known to man.
