Alliance Bride (Legacy of the North Book 1)

Essix, a kingdom fractured by years of violent rule, faces ruin and vulnerability to enemy attack. With her younger brother newly crowned and the throne unstable, Princess Eadlyn offers herself in a marriage alliance with the fierce Nords as Essix's last hope for survival. This means abandoning everything she knows and trusting in God to protect her and her country. Aevar views the marriage as duty—a means to secure peace and strengthen both peoples. Having already lost his chance at love once, he is determined to keep his distance and focus only on keeping Eadlyn safe from those who oppose their alliance. As their bond deepens and dangers mount, old wounds begin to heal. Both must learn to trust each other and in God's providence, which transcends any kingdom. This is a Norse-inspired romantasy that is faith-filled and contains no sexual content.
