About this listen

Brimming with romance, adventure and vivid historical detail, Christina Courtenay does for the Vikings what Diana Gabaldon's Outlander and Clanlans does for Scottish history.

The long-awaited story of Ivar Thoresson, foster brother of Linnea and Madison Berger, is told in Promises of the Runes - available now!
.......................................

He travelled through time to capture her heart.

Brilliant! I have waited an age to listen to this book having listened to all the previous ones twice. I wasn't dissappointed and now bereft that I have finished it.
The story and historical detail, for me, is much much better than even Outlander and I would be extremely happy if the Runes stories were made into a series for television.
Also, the narration is perfect, natural, no jumping straight into the next chapter or grim monotones. Voice changes are seamless and each character recognised.
I wish that CC will continue this story, but if not, then begin something similar - 🤞🙏

Worthy of a Netflix binge watch series!

I have read all 5 of these they are really a great read and loved the different stories and the women in them and how strong they were , and just discovered that there is one more later this year but only in book form at the moment but hope its on Audible as well

Here was a man travelling back in time, so it was more interesting for a change. It also had more action and interaction.
I loved meeting again the characters from previous books. And the short story at the end of the book was a cherry on the cake!

Definitely recommending
