Kiaran is feeling anxious. He had nothing against museums, but his friend Amanda had been buzzing around Iceland's Viking World Museum for over an hour and didn't show any signs that she was ready to leave. She promised that after seeing the hall full of paintings, they could leave.
He had to admit that the oil paintings were amazing, with the armored warriors swords clashing with their protective shields protecting them. And then the portrait of a warrior catches his eye. The life-sized painting was intimidating as the man must have stood five inches above his own height. His huge body covered in armor and furs and his grey eyes sent a shiver down his spine. The details were meticulous, like the man could step outside the painting at any time. Jarl Wulfric had been an imposing man demanding attention.
When they finally leave the museum an artist offers them a special memory of their time in Iceland. Her knive cuts through the wood like butter and when she has finished the detail of the wolf that she hands him is amazing. The rune she carved was a symbol meaning 'home'. She said to trust when all seems lost, it will guide him home.
When an upcoming storm cuts their boat tour short, he finds himself thrown overboard. The waves are taking him under. The next thing he knows the runes from the carving are heating up and then there is a crack of thunder and then he is spinning out of control.
When he finally gets his head above water, he circles in dismay. Where are the icebergs and the ship that he had been aboard? He is in the middle of the ocean by himself. Until he is dragged aboard a ship with a sword pointed at his throat. And men dressed as the portraits he had just observed at the museum surrounding him.
As bizarre as that was, it wasn't until he was brought on shore and thrown at the feet of the man he had admired in the portrait that he realized he was truly in trouble and not part of a group resurrecting the past. He had somehow landed in the past and was at the mercy of Jarl
Wulfric.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Kiaran was unprepared for landing in the middle of Viking times. Not only was he a prisoner, but he was appalled by the fact that there were slaves. The more he tried to reason with the Jarl the more danger he was in from others in the clan who felt that the Jarl didn't deserve his title.
This book is action-packed from the start and full of danger as Kiaran fights for his life when he is thrown centuries into the past. This is an MM romance full of surprises and twists. Highly enjoyed their story!
