Gisele and the Northman
In the medieval city of Paris, fifteen-year-old Princess Gisele bears witness to her father’s historic efforts to negotiate a peace treaty with the notorious Viking warlord Rolf. It is only after the negotiations have concluded that she learns her fate—to become the warlord’s wife.
A Viking chieftain of renown, Rolf leads thousands of warriors. Experienced and cunning, he senses that the era of unrestrained violence by Northmen is coming to a close. He moves quickly to settle his men on land he has been granted under the terms of the fragile peace treaty.
His sovereignty over the land is threatened on all sides by scheming enemies. Is his young wife, Gisele, the ally Rolf needs to meet these challenges?
