Fate brought them together. Free will binds them.
appy Medieval Monday Week 10! I am pleased to welcome Celeste Barclay. Talk about a passionate First Kiss! To my way of thinking, this week's snippet has slightly philosophical slant -- beautiful and sooo sweet. Love this couple!

Now for the snippet:

Sigrid sighed as if she was explaining something to a young child, and as if her patience was wearing thin. “I’ve already told you the gods determined you and I were to meet. They showed this would come to pass. I admit I didn’t know someone would bind me and prepare me for sacrifice. I only knew fate planned for you to rescue me. It was not my place or even my right to go against what the gods have in store for any of us. I can only be a conduit to their ideas, but I can’t foresee or influence their motivations. Even when I cast runes, I only get glimpses into the plans fate has. People can still change those when they act of their own free will.”

“You had that much faith in me? That I would arrive in time and that I would know where to find you?”

About the book:
After months at sea, Leif Ivarrson wants nothing more than to revel in the comforts of home. Yet when word arrives that a new threat has invaded their land, Leif is forced to take up his sword once more. Tasked with rescuing a jarl’s niece, Sigrid, from this malicious enemy, Leif departs on a journey that will alter the course of his fate. 

Since she was a young girl, Sigrid Torbensdóttir’s visions have been both a blessing and a curse. Now a grown woman and powerful seer, she knew enemies would come for her, eager to exploit her gift. Yet her visions taught her that fate could not be denied or ignored. As she had foreseen it, the heroic Viking would save her and sweep them both up in the raging storm of inescapable destiny. 

Drawn together by the will of the gods, Leif and Sigrid battle to save their people from a rival tribe’s scramble for power. Will their blossoming love survive the tests of war and family? Can a match created by fate withstand the machinations of man?

Set sail for adventure in this steamy Viking romance sure to leave you breathless! Norse lore meets passion and intrigue in Leif, written by Celeste Barclay!

    A Little of This, a Little of That

    Keep me away from the wisdom that does not cry, the philosophy that does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children. – Gibran Khalil Gibran

    There is much that is tragic about our world. There is also much that is beautiful. To be sure, a lot of the beauty extends to beyond this world. That beauty, that joy, comes from an all-encompassing, divine love.

    This blog is meant to share that joy -- poetry, religion, the natural world, art, books, music, travel, history, and other lovely, beautiful topics. I find I have no wish to focus on the sad. I do realize, by the way, that a lot of history is sad. But we hardly need for me to highlight that. 

    One more thing/disclaimer: Religion, you might ask? I am a religious person, so much so that I fervently believe everyone should have the right to their own -- provided, of course, that it doesn't hurt others. 

    It is all about love and sharing.

    Out beyond ideas of wrong and right, there is a field. I'll meet you there.          -- Rumi
