Bryk had never thought to marry again. Myldryd had been pledged to him when they were children. His father had paid the bride price and signed the contract. They’d grown up knowing they would marry. They got along and he loved her, though he’d never burned for Myldryd the way he burned for Cath-ryn. When he was old enough, they’d undergone the ritual of bride buying and bride transfer, then celebrated with a feast. Essentially, it was a commercial transaction between two families, and their marriage was much like everyone else’s in Møre. They were comfortable.

It was accepted that if Bryk found a woman of higher rank he wanted to wed, he had the right to set Myldryd aside and remarry. But he’d known in his heart such a thing would never happen. For one thing, Myldryd was Hrolf’s sister, the daughter of a jarl. For another, he was content with her.

She accommodated his needs, but he’d never thought of his wife as a passionate woman. She’d loved him in her own way.

He wanted to share these thoughts with Cath-ryn, but didn’t have the words. He hoped his actions would show her he cared and would remain faithful.

If it were within his power he would participate in a Christian marriage, something she no doubt wanted with all her heart. But he’d have to forswear the Norse gods.
