Our hero is a Viking nobleman who has turned his back on murder and mayhem, but he follows the intrepid Rollo to Francia in a quest for a better life. Our heroine is named for the convent in Rouen where she was left as a foundling at birth, destined for the religious life. They don't speak the same language, their only go-between an elderly nun with a flatulence problem. This can't be a romance, can it?
