The Warrior’s Bride

Freya, the village governor’s daughter, spends her days peacefully in the woods of pagan Britannia, while in the southwestern regions a war of succession is about to break. The king needs new fighters for his army and her beloved ones are soon taken away from her. Her life changes dramatically when a rich woman from one of the counties at war, following orders from her master, pays visit. The warrior prince, her master’s son, is looking for a wife of noble descent, in order to secure an alliance between the two countries, and guarantee peace.

Freya soon finds herself in a new enviromnent, far away from home, with an unknown husband, whose only concern seems to be fighting. While England’s history is writing in the background, a woman is writing her own one, facing her fearful destiny with the only help of her craftiness and strength.

The original name of the book is “La Sposa del Guerriero” , and it was first written in Italian.

The Warrior’s Bride is a 79 page historical romance novella, available for your Kindle at these links:

Linda Covella

Linda Covella’s varied job experience and education (associate degrees in art, business and mechanical drafting & design, a BS degree in Manufacturing Management) have led her down many paths and enriched her life experiences. But one thing she never strayed from is her love of writing.

A writer for over 30 years, her first official publication was a restaurant review column in a local newspaper, and as a freelance writer, she continued to publish numerous articles in a variety of publications. But when she published articles for children’s magazines (“Games and Toys in Ancient Rome” and “Traveling the Tokaido in 17th Century Japan,” in Learning Through History magazine, and “Barry’s Very Grown Up Day” in Zootles magazine), she realized she’d found her niche: writing for children. She wants to share with kids and teens her love of books:  the worlds they open, the things they teach, the feelings they express.

Yakimali’s Gift, a historical novel for young adults published by Astraea Press, and middle grade paranormal The Castle Blues Quake published by Beau Coup Publishing are her first novels.

She’s a member of Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).

No matter what new paths she may travel down, she sees her writing as a lifelong joy and commitment.
