Description

In this collection of adult bedtime stories, Sarah Dahl pulls back the curtain of history to depict the erotic lives of Viking men and women. Amid the stark landscapes of fjords, forests and snow capped mountain peaks, her characters search for love and passion. Dahl authentically illuminates the sensual side of a world of battle and plunder in an alluring collection perfect for every lover of gritty Viking romance.

A warrior recovering by a river is drawn into an unforeseen skirmish with a beautiful shield maiden. An enslaved Christian monk is entranced by his captors' pagan allure. A dissatisfied housewife finds that her home holds an unexpected and liberating secret. An injured farmer is captivated by the magic of his irresistible healer ...

In a world of crackling fires and rough landscapes, long winters and bloody raids, the immediacy of life and death ignites undeniable passions. Warriors and monks, healers and housewives - all follow the call of their hearts and bodies to indulge in pleasures that may forever change their lives.

Advance Praise

"Tales of Freya is an evocative and sensual collection of short stories. It will awaken your senses and leave you gasping for more. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. A wonderful collection of stories. I Highly Recommend." (Mary Anne Yarde, The Coffee Pot Book Club)

"A steamy, historical gem: the author clearly knows her Viking history. It all felt very authentic and real. And the sex scenes were STEAMY! The author knows how to get the heart racing. The stories about Nyssa and Aldaith were my absolute favorites, though. The teasing, the respect for each other, the care, the intense love. If you want historical accuracy mixed with great characters and hot sex scenes, then this is the book for you!" (Kim)

"Sarah Dahl writes so your skin tingles and your blood boils : The common theme is this duality between suffering and passion, and how the harsh brutality of the times contrasts to the intensity of the characters’ emotions, passions and desires. Written with a depth and authenticity that is uncommon in the genre, these stories will easily transport you back to the times of camp fires, smoky halls and fur covered bed chambers. It’s steamy as hell, so read them for those parts alone." (J. Saetrang)

"The Mistress of Norse Sensuality! These are stories that you will not want to end from a writer skilled in her craft. Dahl has deftly taken the world of the Viking warrior, too long the preserve of the idealised male, and filled it with real characters who have as many challenges away from the shieldwall. This is a world where the shieldmaiden is a free as her male counterpart to express her sexuality. You will want to read more from this author." (Dominic Fielder)

"Vivid and evocative stories. Vikings meets Last Kingdom with a huge dose of the 'feels': These evocative stories take you back in time. The characters feel real - I loved them all. The sex is beautifully written in a truly sensual and emotional way. There's nothing graphic or mechanical about it." (M Mercer)
