Winterbourne
The glorious romance from the acclaimed author of The Bride Finder"[An] enchanting love story . . . A real treasure " --Affaire de Coeur Beloved author Susan Carroll took the romance world by storm with her
captivating novel The Bride Finder, a spellbinding tale of magic, romance,
and legend that earned sensational praise from nationally bestselling
authors, booksellers, and fans everywhere. Now, in the classic love story
Winterbourne, Carroll's exquisite prose and breathless storytelling gift
come to life once more--in an irresistible, utterly gripping epic of
passion and defiance. . . . In the harsh, turbulent Middle Ages, lovely Lady Melyssan remains as she
always has been--sweet, timid, and content to be alone. But in a desperate
move to resist the advances of the dreaded king, she claims to be married
to his worst enemy, Lord Jaufre de Macy, the legendary Dark Knight. Seeking temporary shelter in Jaufre's abandoned castle, Winterbourne, she
is unprepared for the fierce, angry warrior who returns to confront her.
He is a man as rough and unforgiving as the Welsh border lands he
rules--and she is as gentle and innocent as a new day. But neither
Jaufre's dark heart nor Melyssan's innocent one can resist the love that is
their destiny--nor protect them from the danger drawing ever closer. . .

When the Norns Have Spoken: Time and Fate in Germanic Paganism
This book argues that within Germanic paganism, considered not as mere cult but as a system of beliefs, it is possible to identify a conceptually coherent understanding of fate which detaches that idea from time, and connects it instead with an implicit theses about the nature of truth as written. Germanic cosmogony, as represented in such precise images as a worldtree, provides a context for an analysis of specific metaphors for the workings of fate as woven or spun by such figures as the Norns - the Norse goddesses of destiny. Employing both philosophical and mythic-linguistic considerations, this book also offers new insights into the persistence of a residual paganism in the understanding of fate following the Christian conversion. Anthony Winterboume is an independent scholar..
