Hanne is a Berserker: uncontrollable rage compels her to kill any threat--animal or human--to herself or her family. She and her siblings flee Norway for Montana Territory in hopes that their long-lost uncle can help her master her power; along the way, Hanne meets cowboy Owen. An unusual paranormal romance–meets–Western adventure seasoned with Norse mythology. The American-frontier setting notably lacks Native presence.
