Shieldmaiden's Tale

The only thing more complicated than revenge...is loveThora Sveinsdottir prefers not to think of how she came to inherit her father's sword. The inescapable nightmares of the brutal Irish raid that killed her family remind her every time she closes her eyes. She'll avenge them-even if it means killing every Irishman she meets until she finds those responsible.Galinn Kettilson is on his own blood-thirsty quest for revenge and nothing is going to stand in his way. Not his king, not the bishop, and certainly not some scrap of a girl pretending to be a warrior.When Thora's injured and taken captive by the enemy, she uncovers secrets others have done terrible things to keep hidden, complicating her plot for revenge and derailing Galinn's plans. What she learns about the enemy and her own people leaves her with an unexpected ally and a new plan for vengeance. She has to trust her captor if she wants to survive, and doing so may cost her everything she holds dear. Achieving their goals might tear them apart, or destroy everything they ever loved… if they can survive. Jaime Loughran is a writer, organ donor, and animal rescuer. An older friend gave 14-year-old Jaime her first romance novel and set her on the path that led to writing her own contemporary and historical romances. Born and raised in New Jersey, she calls the gorgeous rolling hills of the south central region of Kentucky home. Of course, living near the Horse Capital of the World wouldn't be complete without horses, and Jaime is owned by (and servant to) a small herd of Arabians. And Thor, the Appaloosa, who thinks he's an Arabian. Shhhh…don't ruin it for him. Jaime enjoys quilting, painting, and baking. Jaime and her teenage son also enjoy their work as "chicken tenders". (No, not the food kind. :) ) Together they raise Brahma chickens. She is obsessed with comfy pajamas, t-shirts, Supernatural, and reading.

The exciting conclusion of The Shieldmaiden's Tale series!When everything is going wrong, Thora struggles to find what's right…Every plan Thora made went sideways-some in catastrophic proportions. What should have been a simple plan to avenge the death of her family turned into her falling for an enemy, all-out war with High King of Ireland, and assuming a powerful position she didn't want. Decisions made while leading her people led to their deaths. And things keeps getting worse… Battered by the storms surrounding her, Thora contemplates her life after vengeance only to find she's lost. She's made huge mistakes and has to find a way to set things right-and she has to do it before anything else goes wrong. Jaime Loughran is a writer, organ donor, and animal rescuer.
