From Publishers Weekly
A potent blend of fantasy, history and romance, this sequel to Holland's The Soul Thief follows Viking renegade Corban Loosestrife and his wife, Benna, to a fertile, gorgeous land across the sea. There they live a near-idyllic existence with their young son and two daughters and Corban's fey sister Mav. Mav's son, Raef, seems to share her strange gifts, though he fights to conquer them, distressed by the way they distance him from others. This blissful life is interrupted by strife from across the sea and a struggle nearby as the peaceful Indian tribe the family lives near is disturbed by another, aggressive, tribe newly moved into the area. Seeing that he must return to settle scores from his past, Corban sails back to Denmark with Raef and his son, Conn, and becomes embroiled once again in the politics of the feudal age. The boys come into their own as well, with Conn throwing his lot in with Sweyn, the man soon to be king, and not just of Denmark. But Corban learns his beloved Benna is dead and believes his island home is lost to him forever. Though it will be best enjoyed by readers familiar with the first book, this is a rousing, vivid tale rich with Nordic lore.

From Booklist
Holland revisits the enthralling saga of Corban Loosestrife in this equally engaging sequel to The Soul Thief (2002). Fifteen years after killing Viking marauder Eric Bloodaxe, king of Jorvik, Corban, his beloved wife, Benna, and his mystically gifted sister, Mav, have forged a^B new life for themselves and their children on a rugged, windswept island off the coast of Vinland. Receiving an unexpected visit from an old ally in trouble, Corban decides to break his self-imposed exile to face the reckoning he knows he cannot avoid. Returning to Jorvik with his son and nephew in tow, he is thrust back into another vicious war of succession. Bereft on the island without her soul mate, Benna dies but wills her restless spirit back into a heartbroken Corban's arms. Holland interweaves elements of romance, magic, and suspense into a^B superlative historical epic featuring a stoic hero often at^B odds with the all-powerful Viking warriors. Margaret Flanagan

Reader Reviews
Cecielia Holland comes through again. With so many so-so books out there it is nice to have someone who always writes something I hate to put down.
