Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A locked longhouse. A murdered guard. A winter that will let no one escape.

As Fimbulwinter closes around a remote Norse settlement, battle-scarred shield-maiden Dawn discovers the chief of guards dead inside a barred longhouse, an ancient protection rune carved into his flesh. The evidence points everywhere-and nowhere.

Forced to investigate beside Danny "Silverback," the massive grey-bearded warrior who abandoned her during a disastrous raid ten years ago, Dawn must navigate poisoned blood, false witnesses and secrets buried beneath the jarl's own hearth. Their old martial trust survives, but so does the betrayal neither has forgiven.

When Danny's ceremonial sword is used to frame him for murder, Dawn becomes the only person standing between him and the execution block. With the blizzard sealing every road, the killer can only be someone trapped inside the settlement with them.

The Frost-Bitten Longhouse is a gritty atmospheric historical mystery featuring a formidable shield-maiden, an older warrior hero, a locked-room murder, slow-burn romantic tension, political treachery and a hard-won ending.
