__________________________
West Mercia, AD 873
Merewen's settlement is on guard against the threat of the 'Heathen' Norsemen. But for Merewen, the threats are also coming from within, as her future is cruelly snatched away from her. Eirik, a Norseman, finds himself abandoned and injured after a plunder of Mercian land goes wrong. He thinks his fate is sealed - until an angel, bearing the name Merewen, saves his life.
Hereford, Present Day
Alix moves to her uncle's farm in Hereford, where she hopes to heal her recently broken heart. But something strange is in the air. Every time she touches a crystal pendent - a family heirloom gifted to her - she is haunted by memories of a life she never lived, of a relationship she never had, in a time she never existed in. A Viking hoard was discovered on Noah's farm by his sister and her criminal boyfriend. Hounded by the police, Noah must find the rest of the treasure whilst also deciphering the strange connection he has to Alix - a connection that seems to transcend their reality.
