Heart's Ease (The Northwomen Sagas Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
A bitter bitch is what she is. I could soften her up, though, if you’d let me—” When Åke flicked his hand, Igul, the fat sloven who did the jarl’s darkest bidding, closed his mouth and let his sentence go unfinished. “You’ll not touch her. She is the God’s-Eye, and she is mine to do with as I please. But you say she is not tamed.” “No, Jarl. She kicked out this morning, and tried to spit at me with her dry tongue.” Leif sent a sidelong glance to Calder. They had spoken this morning, and Leif had tried to convince the jarl’s eldest son, Leif’s own old friend, that Åke tempted the gods with his treatment of Brenna. He needed Calder to speak for her, because Åke was growing suspicious of Leif and his reservations. Thus far, he still had Calder’s ear, but he was losing the jarl’s. He hadn’t considered the consequences for himself if he lost favor completely.
