Defiance

Book Two in the Outsider Series. When Astrid first agreed to guide Jarl Vorn and his adopted son Knud to Logberg, she never imagined she would fall in love along the way. Now - for the very first time - she begins to dream of the possibility of a peaceful life. But as they travel closer to Logberg, Astrid cannot shake the fear that the dwarf queen Vígdís - the only person who can possibly save Jarl’s home city of Bajartree - could be the very woman to deny her the happiness she craves.
