When Dragons Fall

In the novella, When Dragons Fall, the author takes us to a Viking town that's preparing for the wedding of Berna, a farm girl, to a merchant's son. Although Berna has her heart set on marrying Jorn, a common fisherman, she doesn't want to disappoint her family, who will benefit from the match. The morning of the wedding, news of a dragon sighting forces a change of plans--the dragon is searching for a place to land, to birth its young. Berna's family takes cover and waits, and when it seems the threat has passed, returns home to hold the wedding to Berna's dismay--only the dragon is far from gone.
