Rorik

Historical Fantasy
The Dark Seducer is known throughout Scotland as a man who charms many women into his bed. Pleasure is his motto as he obtains information for his king. Yet Rorik MacNeil harbors one secret buried beneath his heart of steel. An unfulfilled conquest plagues both man and his inner wolf, and Rorik would rather suffer death’s sharp blade than confront his greatest fear.
As the Seer for the Orkneyjar Isles, Ragna Maddadsson confronts an unknown destiny when she travels across the North Sea to Scotland. In her quest to deliver a message from a powerful vision, she fears the warrior will not listen. If Rorik ignores her warning, Ragna must find a way to forestall his impending death. If unsuccessful, she risks having her heart cleaved in two.
To unravel their true fates, Rorik and Ragna must trust in the power of the wolf.
Uncaged Review: We first met Rorik in Magmar’s story, the first book of the series, he was intriguing to me. Now Rorik, who is known as The Dark Seducer, since he seduces women to get information for the king, will find the love of a woman means more to him than life itself. Ragna is a Seer and has visions of Rorik dying and travels across the seas to Scotland to deliver her warning. Rorik and Ragna have a past, where Rorik seemed to have hurt a younger Ragna. But when Rorik almost dies, and Ragna is chosen by Rorik’s wolf, he begins to understand.
What I love about this series, is that the wolf is always there – and never forgotten as part of the man. The wolves of Clan Sutherland are loyal and fierce, and they love as fully as they are feared. Magmar and Elspeth are back, and this book has danger, love and humor. If you love medieval times and a bit of magic tied into it, this is a good choice. Looking forward to Steinar’s book next. Reviewed by Cyrene
