      PREQUEL TO VIKING FIRE

      ANDREA R. COOPER

      To my husband who not only showed me love is real, but opened up a world of magic and fantasy. Who encouraged me to indulge in my love of reading, and never told me to give up my dream of becoming an author. And who wrestled with little ones so I had time to write. Thank you for your support. I love you. To my children, Troy, Levi, and Chloe, may you always follow your dreams, and hold onto them until they come true. Never accept defeat even when friends or family doubt you.

      To my fans who encouraged me with their enthusiasm and words after reading Viking Fire and asking to have more of Bram, this novella is dedicated to you and your enthusiasm of my characters. Thank you.

      Afterword

      CHAPTER 1

      Bram, son of Ragnar, gripped the ship’s stern, his fingers white against the weather-beaten wood as the Irish waves crashed against the worn oak side of the ship, spray bursting into the air like a rain of diamonds.

      The silver Thor’s amulet - his mother's parting gift - hung heavy against his chest, a testament to the path he was yet to tread. Would the Norns, those fickle weavers of fate, show him kindness… for once?

      He shrugged the sea spray from his cloak, stepping closer to the ship’s railing despite the wind’s persistent howl. His occasional escape from the stifling confines of the one guestroom below of once a day and he wasn’t going to pass up his chance for fresh air.

      A raven cawed overhead, its raucous call piercing the air. The Captain, stone-lure poised in hand, raised his arm.

      No. Bram’s voice cut through the wind. His hand closed around the Captain’s who looked at him with seaweed-green eyes that held the sternness of many voyages.

      Bram continued, It could be one of Odin’s ravens. I'd not like to alter my luck by angering a god. Not that luck had been a familiar friend of late.

      Ireland—a new start for him–for a new family.

      The Captain shrugged, lowering the stone. Fine. But if they bother me again once yer gone…

      With a nod, Bram hiked his hood down more over his head, concealing the blond evidence of his heritage and hunched his shoulders as instructed. The other sailors, if they knew his true origins, would be quick to dispense their own form of justice. So, he remained hidden, a ghost in the heart of the ship for most of the journey.

      He yearned for solid ground beneath his feet, for the comfort of his weapons, lost in paying his brother Henrick’s debts. He was not a man to shy away from a fight, but even
