How did a fierce Viking warrior's soul end up trapped within a Saxon's body? By a prophecy from the gods about the Raven's Embrace.
Leofric has found his soul mate in Freya. So, when he weds her, he looks forward to the life they'll have in the land of the Saxons. But, before he can make her his in every way, he is killed while attacking a Saxon stronghold.
His spirit wanders the battlefield until he is inexplicably drawn to a certain tree. And to the Saxon, who killed him. So, it is no surprise to him when his god, Woden, appears. And with his arrival, Leofric knows his life, or should he say, his death, is about to change for all time.
