Bloodcurse — Toni V. Sweeney

Though Riven kan Ingan will be the first to admit married life made him a love-struck fool, he refuses to be a cuckold when he returns from battle to discover his beloved Barbara pregnant with a child he couldn't have sired. In a fury at her supposed infidelity, he dares the wrath of the gods and turns her out, only to find himself driven from his domain when a deadly curse strikes.

Haunted by Barbara's memory, Riven begins a quest to find the one who cursed him. In the years that follow, his journey will take him to the land of his birth, where he'll unearth long-hidden family secrets followed by more grief and loss. His pride will be ground to dust and he'll find himself dependent upon an old enemy's mercy and a barbarian's woman gentle love to rid himself of the Bloodcurse.
