Professor Cassie Larson leads a life her undergrad students hope to attain …

Until she tumbles into the North Sea and is sucked down into a swirling vortex … and a different century.

Alarik, son of a Viking chieftain, is blamed for a murder he didn’t commit — or did he? He can’t remember. On the run, saving a half-drowned foreign woman wasn’t in his plan.
