- For me fate wove this / by Randolph, Octavia,author.;
In an Angle-land riven by contesting Danes ... Hrald of Four Stones has fallen in love with Dagmar, the daughter of dead King Guthrum, who once ruled all Anglia. Dagmar is beautiful and poised; very much a King's daughter. Yet she owns nothing but the jewels about her neck - and the secrets she carries with her. "Are you always fighting Fate and the will of the Gods? Then you will be thwarted at every turn ..." Ashild has not forgotten this advice given her by her step-father Sidroc before he sailed for Gotland. Her own desires are contrary to the goals of those who love her best - how much more difficult to make decisions for two? Ceric of Kilton is now a proven warrior, and made second in command to Prince Eadward of Wessex. In the ceaseless attempt to bring the Danish interloper Haesten to heel, the Prince's small troop crosses into enemy territory. There they are pushed beyond the point of endurance. Deep into Lindisse, both Hrald and Ceric become enmeshed in a fearsome struggle between the marauding Danes and the warriors of Four Stones. The result changes both men forever.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Vikings; Anglo-Saxons; Ninth century;

- The inspector and the sea. [videorecording] / by Gatjen, Andy.; Hallgren, Frida.; Jungstadt, Mari.; Nilsson, Inger.; Sittler, Walter.; MHZ Networks Home Entertainment (Firm);
The Unseen -- Closer Than You Think -- In a Lonely Place -- Summertime -- The Dying Dandy -- Dark Angel.Walter Sittler, Andy Gatjen, Inger Nilsson, Frida Hallgren, Sólveig Arnarsdottir.This blockbuster German crime series, The Inspector and the Sea, is based on the best-selling crime novels by Mari Jungstedt and is set on the idyllic Swedish island of Gotland. Laid-back German police inspector Robert Anders has the job of solving crimes on Gotland, but he's a man out of his element: living on an island, and afraid of the sea. It's a phobia he'll have to conquer if he's to delve beneath the pleasant surface of the medieval town of Visby. Behind the facade of its brightly colored houses lurk criminals of all stripes: con men, extortionists, kidnappers and serial killers. They move among the residents and the summertime tourists who vacation in cottages that line the beaches. Robert's investigative team includes his loyal deputy Karin Jacobsson, the charming, capable Thomas Wittberg, and Ewa, a sardonic pathologist. Together, they discover that seemingly innocuous local characters conceal secrets; everyone has something they're hiding and nothing is as it appears on the surface. The resort town of Visby may present the picture of innocence, but it provides plenty of work for a criminal inspector.14A.DVD; NTSC, region 1, widescreen presentation.- Subjects: Criminal behavior; Detective and mystery television programs.; Detectives; Television programs;
