Description
A tale of star-crossed young love set against the backdrop of the Viking invasion of York, from a master storyteller.
Kata and Tor follows Tor, the youngest son of Harald Hardrada, King of Norway and leader of the Viking fleet. His countless victories have been woven into song, his prowess the stuff of legend.
Kata, on the other hand, knows little of her parents but yearns for something beyond the small world of her Anglo-Saxon village south of the great city of York.
As Tor is sent to scout ahead of the Viking fleet following their invasion of Scarborough, he relies on his charm and guile to learn the lay of the land and the location of the regional earls' forces, ready to report back to his father. However, upon meeting Kata, a caring and capable young woman, Tor's heart is set alight by her fierce nature.
These are troubled times. Mistrust and rumours ripple through the land: the mighty Hardrada is coming and help is far from hand. As the eve of battle draws closer, Kata and Tor must question to whom their loyalty lies: heart or home?
