A YA romantic fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast explores loss, unforgiveness and redemption.

A Viking's Curse, a Book Series Written

By Avani Clare

Set during the Viking Wars in England, "A Vikings Curse" tells the story of a Viking who is cursed to turn into stone if he can't attract true love before the next Spring.

But who can love him if he has been turned into a beast?

Norseman Eric Algar, is a peaceful man. Escaping his frost-covered Norse homeland, all he wants to do in England is to be a simple farmer. But now he's under an Elven curse which has made life a bit complicated...

Hating the violence that prevents him from farming in peace, he steps out into society with a purpose to end violence between the English and Vikings. But will he accomplish his goal before he succumbs to the curse if he can't meet its condition?

Lady Catelyn Hastings is a tough English warrior. She hates the Vikings and everything they stand for, as they've murdered thousands of her people for as long as she can remember, including her mother when she was little.

In Catelyn, author Clare wanted to explore the idea of a woman who was strong and brave in a time when women were expected to be meek and submissive.

Rhundael is the King of Elves who pronounced the curse over Eric Algar, and with good reason!

Because of the Eric's mistake, the losses of his kingdom are innumerable and heavy to bear.

Ayarna is the Queen of Elves who, in a moment of insight, saved the world by forgiving one man. Eric may live... but on one condition.

The condition sounds simple, but will Eric meet it on time?

Avani Clare: "My biggest hope is that readers will simply love this story about an unlikely romance, forgiveness and redemption."

But by writing about characters who go against the expectations of their time, culture, and their society, Clare also hopes to inspire readers to think outside the box, and to accept themselves and other people for who they are, not who society tells them they should be.
