"In this series, I aim to dispel the current idea that Ragnar and Aslaug's relationship was doomed," says author, Rachel Tsoumbakos. "Aslaug's relationship with Ragnar was actually a very happy one. In fact, she was the one who almost prevented his death at the hands of King Aelle."
Synopsis:
"Is Aslaug really Ragnar's one true love?
"Can she save him from his own prideful death?
"Plus, how close can one be to their stepson before questions are asked?
"Aslaug was one of Ragnar Lodbrok's wives and bore him many sons. However, prior to meeting him, she spent her childhood locked up in a harp.
"Then, when the harp owner was murdered, she was raised by a beastly pair who insisted Aslaug never wash in order to hide her beauty.
"Once released from this life of miserable slavery, Aslaug went on to marry Ragnar Lodbrok, the famous Viking. She bore many children to him as well as help raise some of his other children. At times, her relationship with one of her stepchildren was considered questionable as she favoured him over even her own children.
"'Vikings: The Truth About Aslaug And Ragnar' will unravel all these secrets and reveal a story that is more interesting than anything you knew about them previously as well as debunking the myth that they relationship was loveless.
"Part One brings the whole story to life with a historically accurate novel of their lives. Part Two then examines the historical facts behind this famous Viking couple.

The Vikings and the extraordinary women who existed in the Viking era.
