Publisher's Summary:
Cursed with the second sight, Elienor of Baume les Nonnes dared not reveal her prophetic dreams for fear of meeting her mother's fiery end - though in her dreams she spied the Norsemen who would storm Brouillard castle - and she she saw him, the fierce, golden-haired Viking who would claim her as his prize....
Revenge brought Alarik Trygvason to the shores of the River Seine. Destiny gave him a dark-haired beauty with violet eyes. Beguiled by Elienor's strange dreams and her fiery spirit he can barely control the passions she arouses, body and soul...but in a land full of strife, he risks everything to love the woman whose dreams hold their future in thrall.
Critic Reviews:
4 STARS A tantalizing tale of love and betrayal ... a sensual love story that will hold you in thrall. (RT Book Reviews)
An endearing love story. One you'll want to read again and again. Tanya Anne Crosby at her best. (The Medieval Chronicle)
Beautiful and haunting Viking drama ... filled with all the charm, passion and intrigue that makes a novel a keeper. Viking's Prize ... magnificently captures and era when magic ruled the land and Christianity was struggling to take root. (Affaire de Coeur)

What a Surprise!!!
I really enjoyed this story. It was well written and excellently narrated. My attention was kept the whole way through and there are some interesting notes at the end about the true history. I just wish more of her books were available through audible...
Awesome combo of Story & Narration
Any additional comments?
Loving Tanya Anne Crosby's stories, I ventured into the Viking world not my usual, but a surprising delight. She explores relationships of trust here and I love the actual historical aspects of King Olaf she talks about in a note at the end. Awesome narration and the combo of Tanya's work with Braden Wright narrating is why I chose this. I loved it! I read in a blog post that he does a lot of research (learning Cheyenne for Sagebrush Bride a favorite) and he used the actual Norwegian pronunciations for places and gods (Loki, Vikings, Trondheim) It added to the historical world for this historical romance.
wow on so many levels.
On so many levels it was beautiful handsome intense and full of a desire and love that came and eclipsed through terrors. Thank you for the beautiful story.
Viking's Prize
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and, that it was written from the point of view of the Vikings.
WOW a captivating non-stop feast for your ears
Well I never thought I'd say it but move over Vampires, Rogues, Werewolves, Playboys, Dukes, Highlanders (ok maybe not them) ....... because the Viking's are here.
Right from the start Ms Crosby transports you to a time when beefy Vikings battle, murder, pillage, plunder and capture then the Norse Warriors sail away in their longships with the spoils of war. Alarik, a golden haired, handsome, sexy, swoon/drool-worthy Viking Leader is one such man and his prize is Elienor a French, feisty, strong willed beauty who's got the gift of second sight and knew he was coming for her.
This well-written action-packed listen will suck you right in and keep you enthralled until the bitter-sweet end as the rocky road to their HEA is paved with greed, revenge, twists and turns, struggles, betrayals, battles and lots of interesting secondary characters who infuse the plot with villains and heroes.
