Viking Honor (Heartsong Presents #535)

I really liked Viking Honor. I had never read any books about the Vikings and found this book very intersting and well written. I have been looking for more books by this author because she is such a good author.

This book is from the Heartsong Presents historical series, sweet historical romances in various settings with an inspirational theme. This particular book is set in Greenland in the year 996 A.D. Disa always lived isolated from her Viking community in Greenland. She and her parents had converted to the new religion of Christianity, which made them outcasts. And when Disa drowned as a young girl, her mother was able to resuscitate her, causing the other settlers to fear her as someone who had been brought back from death. Because of this, Disa's widowed mother, who is dying, fears her daughter will be left alone after she is gone. So her mother makes a bargain with Thorvald, a man who has been exiled to Greenland for a murder he denies committing, to marry Disa after she dies. When Disa learns of this shortly after her mother's death, she is angry and doesn't want to marry Thorvald, a man she doesn't know, and who doesn't share her faith. But she must in order to protect her land from a greedy neighbor. Can Disa and Thorvald find love in their arranged marriage? This book was another good historical romance from Darlene Mindrup, with yet another unique setting. I had never read a book with this setting before and I really liked it. I also liked how it was more about the day to day life of the Vikings rather than exploring and going to war. I enjoyed the romance as well as the historical detail. I'd recommend this book to readers who enjoyed other books by this author or who like historical romances with unusual settings.
