Footsteps In the Dew — Marsali Taylor

Shetland, 1150. When Rannveig finds boastful Patrekr dead in her father's longhouse one summer morning, she knows her sister's suitor, Eilifr, isn't guilty - and she's willing to declare his innocence in front of Earl Rognvaldr the Kirk-builder at the Thing. Then there's a second death, and soon danger threatens Rannveig's father and her lively brother and sisters. A fast-moving novella of adventure and romance in Norse Shetland, set around historical events at the time of the 'three kings in Nidaros'.
