  In a land ruled by tradition and bloodbound oaths, young Ragnar Ivarsson learned of his famed father’s demise. The gods are silen, patiently observing from the shadows. Jarl Hastein demands nothing but strict obedience. And the ancient code forbids shieldmaidens from raising steel alongside their Viking counterparts, on foreign shores. 
  Alongside a secret band of outlaw warriors. Ragnar Lothbrok dares to accomplish what others fear: a voyage into the unknown west from the icy shores of Hordaland. Their mission will defy their people, their leaders, and their gods. And when their longships strike the holy shores of Lindisfarne in 793 AD, history will be changed forever. 
  Blood will be spilled. Legends will be born. And the forgotten will rise. 
  The Forgotten Warriors is a gripping Viking-era historical novel for fans of The Last Kingdom, Giles Kristian, and Bernard Cornwell.

  DON'T OPEN FIRE UNTIL CHRISTMAS 
   
   
   
  Patrick Foley is a haunted man. After losing his family in a brutal Commanche raid, he drifts from town to town seeking justice and revenge. His mission—to track down the killers—has hardened his heart against all men, good or bad. But his icy resolve begins to melt when he arrives in the small Texas town of Christmas Creek—along with a massive winter storm that traps him there with a good woman, her little boy, and some very bad men . . . 
   
   
   
  Texans call it a Blue Norther. A fast-moving onslaught of heavy sleet and snow, it brings Foley's search to a halt, but also gives him a chance to warm up with the charming young widow who runs the general store. Her name is Lovejoy Peace. She has a friendly smile, a six-year-old son—and a terrible problem with mean-spirited cowboys stealing supplies from her store. Being a gentleman, Foley raises his gun to defend the widow and stop the thieving snakes. But the battle is far from over . . . 
   
   
   
  The storm is getting worse. The cowboy gang is snowbound, too—and they're ready for a rematch. If Foley, the widow, and her son can survive the night, it'll be a Christmas miracle . . .
