Where I Stand

"...Piazza pays off all the conflicts with highly satisfying conclusions. Where I Stand is a good read, a good message, and a good book." --Jen Brown, University of Iowa

Can a sister's love defeat an army?

After years of wandering, Alynn has a family again. She shares a loving home with her mother and foster-father, and Drostan, the future Norse chieftain, seeks her hand in marriage. When it seems life can't get any better, she receives word that Tarin-her beloved little brother, presumed lost at sea-may still be alive.

Alynn isn't the only one looking for him.

The bloodthirsty Norse tribe of Darsidia is on the warpath, raiding and kidnapping across the Scottish coast, heading straight for Tarin. Alynn tries everything she can to reach him in time, but all her efforts are thwarted. Complicating her plans is the Norse parliament Althing, which threatens to change the lives of everyone on St. Anne's Cleft-and maybe not for the better.

Alynn will find her brother. Even if it means sacrificing everything she's come to love.
