The Soul Thief
NY: Forge, hardcover 2002Set in A.D. 950 in Jorvik (York, England) and assorted other venues, The Soul Thief deals with the real Vikings, not Kirk Douglas types. It's #1 of a series of 5 books (I'm currently on #2) dealing with this wonderful, vital, productive period of history, and nurses a gut feeling I have that, after all, women do run the world.
