Maidensong
by Diana Groe

When Rika sings the Norse legends, her beautiful voice captivates all who listen. But after a raid on her homeland, she finds herself the captive—a slave to the powerful Bjorn the Black. He is the one man who can destroy her life, yet the only man she can truly trust. The only man who has ever ignited the passion in her soul...and introduced her to the pleasures of the body. But Bjorn is duty-bound to bring her to wed another. And thus they begin a perilous journey to a foreign land, a voyage that will test their courage in countless ways and challenge the strength of the love that is their destiny.

Diana Groe's Bio

Diana Groe learned much of what she knows about award-winning writing from singing. A classically trained soprano, she gleaned the elements of dramatic storytelling while performing operatic roles. Fortunately, romance requires a happy ending. Instead of dying of consumption like her operatic counterparts, Diana's heroine gets to live and keep the hero.

A dedicated traveler, Diana enjoys visiting new places and peoples. She and her husband have lived in eight different states, stretching from the Pacific Northwest to the Carolinas. She now makes her home in the heart of the Ozarks, surrounded by the beautiful Mark Twain National Forest.
