In the market at The Thing, Elin Korisdottir encounters a mysterious and handsome stranger. Intrigued by the attraction he rouses, she endeavors to meet him again. Her excitement that he returns her sentiments is quickly dashed by the news her father has negotiated a marriage for her, in order to make an alliance.
Torsten Dragmállson has long traveled the world, rarely remaining at home for more than a few months before setting out again. Throughout his voyages, he has made powerful alliances but has decided the time has come to return to his village and stay. When he encounters Elin in the market, he is surer than ever he has made the right choice.
When she comes to him in desperation, offering herself in an attempt to get out of an arranged marriage, he is more than happy to oblige. After a passion-filled afternoon, he promises to seek out her family, vowing to use the power and wealth of his own clan to counter her father's bargain. But despite his search, Torsten cannot find her. Without knowing which region or country she came from, he fears he will never see her again. He vows to keep looking for her.
On her wedding day, Elin's despair turns to disbelief and bewilderment to see Torsten standing beside the man she is to marry. The unbearable reality is worsened when enemies from within Torsten's village take drastic measures against them both.
Standing together could save them. Or kill them. How could the gods be so cruel?
