Beschreibung

Christ Church Priory, Canterbury, 990 AD. Orphaned by vikings, Folcwin and his elder brother Aelfwynn have become excellent scribes.
 
Their lives, enlivened by sibling rivalry, are upset by a competition to illuminate a commissioned psalter. After Folcwin is selected the victor, his brother is accused of murdering another competitor, and he escapes. While Aelfwynn begins a patriotic battle against Viking raiders, Folcwin's fame as a scribe increases.
 
Even with their imbalanced fortunes, the paths of the two brothers are bound to cross with powerful kings and strong leaders, including King Aethelred, Thorkell the Tall and Edmund Ironside. But can they overcome the Viking menace?

    Nora Roberts meets Yellowstone—with the grit of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Christine Carbo. 
    Former big-city prosecutor Jenn Herrington has reinvented herself in Big Horn, Wyoming—a rugged cowboy town tucked against the eastern slope of the Bighorn Mountains. By day, she defends the accused. By night, she writes mysteries inspired by her cases. But in Big Horn, real life is far more dangerous than anything she puts on the page. 
    BIG HORN 
    When an investment guru is found dead in the septic tank behind her husband’s newly opened Wyoming lodge, Jenn is forced to put her high-profile campaign to become Houston’s youngest-ever female district attorney on hold. The prime suspect is a hard-drinking lodge caretaker—and unless Jenn can prove his innocence, he’ll take the fall for a murder she’s convinced he didn’t commit. 
    WALKER PRAIRIE 
    Summoned to examine elite performance horses at the WP Bar Ranch, Jenn’s veterinarian husband, Aaron, instead finds the ranch’s abrasive California owner dead in his Jaguar at the bottom of an icy roadside cliff. When deputies arrest a beloved local contractor—whose tractor tire tracks lead straight to the scene—Jenn must navigate small-town loyalties, buried grudges, and dangerous secrets to uncover the truth. 
    RED GRADE 
    When the star of a championship polo team collapses and dies during a match, whispers of underground betting and drugged horses ripple through Wyoming’s wealthy elite. With the county attorney overwhelmed, Jenn is called in to help—only to discover the evidence is pointing toward the one person she never expected: her husband. As her legal career and marriage hang in the balance, Jenn must decide how far she’s willing to go to uncover the truth… and whether she truly knows the man she married.

    Then the mother who abandoned him when he was a toddler returns to River City and completely shakes up his world. 
    Though professing to be sober and seeking to reconnect with her son, Kopriva is initially suspicious of her intentions.

Not only that, but the woman seems to be sincere in every way, causing Kopriva to trust her and to believe. 
    What follows is a shocking betrayal and a murder that sends Kopriva on perhaps the darkest journey of his life. He seeks out the truth, even though it isn't what he wants it to be. For better or worse, Kopriva knows that hope dies last.
