Historical Romance Review: The Lord of Hawkfell Island by Catherine Coulter

Posted on October 1, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

In The Lord of Hawkfell Island by Catherine Coulter Mirana is a young, unmarried woman who lives with her brother in a massive fortress. When he’s away, their home is attacked by Viking raiders seeking vengeance against him, as the Viking leader Rorik blames him for the death of his wife and child.
