Summary:Athelstan believes that the empty feeling he's had his entire life means that he has no soulmate, and is meant for God. Ragnar and Lagertha have been waiting for the third member of their bond for years and started to despair that they might ever find him. But when the summer raids bring Ragnar west to Lindisfarne, everything changes.

Review: I'm a sucker for soulbond stories, particularly when the relationship still takes time to build. This is a bittersweet love story. Samyazaz does a great job in showing the different religious differences between the characters cultures. I usually don't like the angst caused by lack of communication between the people in a relationship, but Samyazaz keeps the plot from getting bogged down by the lack of communication.

I particularly enjoyed all the work put into the little details about culture. There is a lot of death, and cultural hang ups so if you are sensitive to that sort of thing, read with caution.
