Here's the Amazon teaser/page.
Always last to leave
What if you killed someone for insulting you, and when their
family took you to court the judges punished them instead of you, for insulting
the law because the dead person knew what the law was and they must have wanted
it because they certainly went begging for it.
One continuous Saga of Love, Murder, and War among people
who'll balk at nothing but a saleable excuse for their crooked courts, complete
as the Full Saga or available as 3 separate Volumes/Parts.
In Volume/Part I, Grab The Wolf, Chieftains conspire,
vengeance for old killings visits, and loves and obsessions turn to murder.
In Volume/Part II, Kill Them Twice, conspiracies bear fruit
as battle presages battle, hunters hunt, and war invades the forests.
In Volume/Part III, war trades faces as the law and honor
shove the hunter home guard, sailors, and everyone's kin at the other's
throats.
In the year 1000 Leif Erikson sailed to the New World and
back to Greenland.
This time Viking Outlaws who'd been run out of everywhere
sailed back in droves to the island of Hellulandia (Newfoundland). Many of the
Irish too sailed to New Tara (Chesapeake Bay) hoping to finally rid themselves
of those damn Norwegians and Danes. No such luck.
Eventually, on Hellulandia, law and order broke out again
and their own outlaws were tossed off the island west onto Skoggangurstrond
(Outlaws Coast/New Brunswick) where their descendants eventually again imposed
law and order, sort of, under new Chieftains who also took to outlawing and
booting out their own trash.
It's the year 1279 and everyone including the Skraelings
who've been there long before the Norse and Irish are plotting to get rid of
those double, triple, and quadruple crossing guys who aren't their guys just
one last time, all over again.
Dead in the middle of Skoggangurstrond where all crossings
converge are Chieftain Tore's Ravens, who know a good deal about what's going
to crop up, having planted it, and great deal more about cutting it down.
Tore and his crews are heading off to New Tara, leaving
behind them his twelve hunters, their leader his criminally womanizing Marshal,
the village priest and a blacksmith who are not supposed to even see the army
headed their way. Destroying it has been left in other hands.
But, . . .
In the icy, edge of spring forest night a hundred women and
girls who can't stop fighting with each other and have never killed anything
worse than crop raiding pests follow the hunters into their black and
forbidding realm against an army twice the size those other hands haven't done
a thing about.
Foremost among Marshal Jarnulf's fighting women are his current
woman, and a most enticing infuriation, his ex, warring with him and each other
over who really owns him.
With bows, and steel they barely know how to use, the women
can't win a fight and they know it.
But with the skills of their hunters, undreamt even now,
they're going to find that in war as in love fair is a fable untold by an
idiot, because fair killed him before he could tell it.
Ravens, always last to leave the field of battle.

story evolves.
What would a Viking hero do as a part of the Home Guard in
a village full of women when their husbands are all off at sea?
Work, feed the fire, drink, board game, and, .. .
In that culture even kissing a girl without getting her
menfolk's blessing first (usually including marriage) could get an axe chopped
into your head.
High stakes, endless potential.
