In which a terrible co-incidence might be used for good - as long as no one gets too angry about the revelation.

Summary
The third part of my Haesten/Saerlaith trilogy, following Hidden Treasure and Return of the Sea Wolf.
Saerlaith, the Saxon wife of an Irish ealdorman, lives a quiet life in Coffe's Tree (Coventry) in the Kingdom of Mercia. Having persuaded Haesten, a Viking warlord, to spare the local villagers, she has tended his wounded men and learned to use a sword. Thinking she will never see him again, she has resumed her life as wife and mother. But a year later, a mysterious gift arrives and a summons to join Haesten once again. But what does he want from her? Her skills as a healer, a fighter, or a lover?
NB: I tagged the violence box but there is very little of it and wouldn't expect anyone who has read Bernard Cornwell to be at all fazed by it.
