La femme de ménage voit tout

Description

They say some people are favored by the gods. Others need to make their own luck.

Book 1

There is a single lesson in the heart of every Viking: Those who use magic are put to death.

When a handsome young warrior rides into her village and Liv barely has time to notice. There is coin to be made with the arrival of the king.

But the fates have other plans.

The two strike up a friendship that grows closer, even though Liv knows she will never rise above her station.

She makes a promise that even though she cannot love him, she will protect him.

And that promise will require the greatest sacrifice of all.

Book 2

Witch.

In the blink of an eye, Liv's hard-fought life turned upside-down. Not only had she used her powers in the open and exposed her secret, she had done so in front of the king's own soldiers. No sooner had the dust settled, than she was arrested before the entire settlement and sentenced to death. Alone in a prison cell, she begins to think about where things went wrong...

The fabric of the realm might be slowly changing, but it was still ingrained in the heart of every Viking child, never to suffer a witch. The clock is ticking, but all hope isn't lost. Erik owes a heavy debt, and feels the weight of that burden.

Is it possible to escape the consequences of her actions? Even if she could run, would her chances be any better out in the wild? The executioner comes at dawn, and two people are considering opposite sides of the same question: When a life hangs in the balance... is it possible to walk away?

Book 3

What do we do with witches…?

With the smoke from the settlement still hanging in the air behind them, Liv and Eric strike out on foot into the wilderness. But the fates weave a twisted story, and it isn't the escape either of them had in mind. Cut off from Trina by the arrival of the imperial army, the pair find themselves truly stranded, without the hope of either coin or supplies. The woods are rife with danger on the best of days, and that's without the price that had surely been put on their heads.

Blood is in the water, and the imperial hounds have caught their scent. But even if they manage to stay ahead of the spears behind them, there's trouble brewing on a different front. A closer front.

Liv's not the only one harboring a secret.

Sometimes freedom comes at too high a cost.
