The Shield Maidens Revenge The Vikings of Vinland Book One

When her twin sister Gull is sold in marriage to a brutish warlord, Katla Grmsdttir and her milk brother, the slave boy Freyvior, set out on a journey to save their beloved sister and friend, but not before wreaking a terrible revenge on the ones who betrayed them all. "Things began to move in slow motion. Gull raised a shining sword and though Katla prayed to Freya that she might run her groom through with it, she only removed a simple silver ring from its tip and handed it to Laugi. Laugi slipped the ring on his finger then repeated the motions with another sword. Gull looked up at Katla for a second as she slipped on the ring, then turned her eyes to look over Katla's shoulder. Katla spun, catching Frey outside the longhouse looking in, dripping wet and forlorn. Katla stared at him, wanting to say something, or to scream at him, but he only walked away into the rain. By the time Katla had the heart to stop watching as he retreated into the distance, the holy man had declared the wedding over. Gull and Laugi were married."
