The Viking Roots series is a three-book medieval romance trilogy by Anna Markland, published between 2014 and 2015. The series centers on Norse heroes, tapping into Viking culture and history in a way that sets it apart from Markland’s Norman and Highland romances. The original titles (The Rover Bold, The Rover Defiant, The Rover Betrayed) were later reissued as Viking Bold, Viking Defiant, and Viking Betrayed.

Each book follows a different hero with Viking ancestry as he faces dangers on land and sea while falling for a woman who changes his course. The Viking setting gives Markland a canvas for more action and adventure than her drawing-room Regency stories, with seafaring voyages, raids, and territorial disputes driving the plots. Readers who enjoyed the Norse elements in The FitzRam Family’s Wild Viking Princess will find a full series devoted to that world here.
