The folks at Bantam were so excited by Josie Litton's writing that they decided to publish her first two novels (the first two parts of a trilogy) together. There's not much room for plot here, but this talented newcomer writes romantic stories set at a time when Norse and Saxon warriors fought over the British Isles -- and the vision she shares is enriched by potent magic. In Dream of Me, Viking leader Wolf Hakonson hopes to forge a lasting alliance between his people and the Saxons. When Lady Cymbra (a beautiful, gifted healer whose brother is the powerful Saxon Lord Hawk) refuses his offer of a marriage alliance, he turns to guile to fulfill his dream of peace. While he poses as Cymbra's prisoner, he plans to capture her heart -- and claim her hand in marriage. Lord Hawk is the hero in Believe in Me. Like his sister, Cymbra, he has agreed to marry to aid the peace process. But his promised Viking bride, Krysta, seems to be in no hurry to arrive. Finally, three of Krysta's servants come: an old woman named Raven, a troll-like man, and a beautiful young woman -- but there is more to each of them than meets the eye.
