Liberated (Befriad)

Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg

The year is 1395. Anne Persdotter has settled in Stockholm together with her two children. Despite the hard times she runs a successful trading house. But faith forces her to leave the city – and the children.

 

She travels to Konstantinopel. In the Baltic Sea the brutal Vitalie Brothers under the leadership of Klaus Störtebecker rule. Anne and her new companion, the Italian trader Leonardo, risk their lives and leave Konstantinopel to buy valuable copper from Bergslagen in Sweden.

 

The months on the seas become quite eventful. Anne needs to use tricks and all her will to survive. She is driven by the longing for her children, hopes about her future and the promise about love, which slowly grows stronger and stronger.

 

Remarkable adventures, passionate love and touch politics between powerful nations. In Liberated Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg adds colour and life to a so far unknown part of our history.

"Liberated appeals to anyone who admires good historical novels. Ingelman-Sundberg knows her craft work. The book contains everything that those who like adventure, passionate love and tough power struggles in times gone by probably are looking for in a book."

Dast Magazine

 

"The book is the third stand alone part in the series about Anne Persdotter. The level of suspense and the drama is of as high class as in the previous titles. Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg's story telling skills are magnificent and it is almost impossible to stop reading. She describes this time in Swedish history with great historical knowledge."
