From the Hebrides and Britain to the shores of Ireland, a search is underway to find the three sons of Ragnar Longsword, the daring Viking jarl whose bold raids and conquests of the heart are already legend. To each of his lovers Ragnar has given a jewel from his Viking sword to hang around his sons' necks when they were born. Now those pendants are the only key to his quest. OUTCAST - Their unexpected love will lead them to adventure and an unknown danger.Though she has never laid eyes on him, flame-haired Erica of Clan Macquarie is defiantly proud that her father was a Viking Jarl. Around her neck she wears the garnet-studded raven's pendant that he gave to her mother so long ago. Someday she will seek out her father and follow her Viking destiny.That day comes sooner than she imagined when powerful and handsome Nordic warrior, Torin, comes ashore. An emissary of her father, Torin has come in search of the Jarl's youngest son, "Eric," little realizing that the son is in reality a daughter--Erica--the same beauty he has grown to love. Now he plans to take her with him to the Northland, unaware or the vengeful clansmen who will do anything--lie, cheat, disgrace, imprison or kill--to make certain Torin never leaves Alba's shores.
