Cursed with the second sight, Elienor of Baume les Nonnes dared not reveal her prophetic dreams for fear of meeting her mother's fiery end - though in her dreams she spied the Norsemen who would storm Brouillard castle - and she she saw him, the fierce, golden-haired Viking who would claim her as his prize....

Revenge brought Alarik Trygvason to the shores of the River Seine. Destiny gave him a dark-haired beauty with violet eyes. Beguiled by Elienor's strange dreams and her fiery spirit he can barely control the passions she arouses, body and soul...but in a land full of strife, he risks everything to love the woman whose dreams hold their future in thrall.
