A different story then I usually read, but kept my interest. Highly recommend this book and author. Like the touches of Norse.

A gripping story featuring a fascinating wounded hero, “Draca”, by Geoffrey Gudgion (Unbound), revolves around a haunted boat, troubled family bonds and a slow-paced, thoughtfully written romantic relationship.
Jack is a brooding wounded warrior, with a compelling Beta dimension that adds layers to his complex characterization. We have the broken former Royal Marine going through a tough process of physical and mental recovery, that involves a life-altering injury and PTSD, among other issues, the tender and devoted grand-son and the unexpected man and lover revealed in the relationship with the heroine (George).
George is a captivating heroine, too, refreshingly different. The healing powers and the psychic dimensions are well written and feel… realistic.
The Viking sagas, Draca’s dragon tale and the nautical universe were less compelling to me, although the fantasy world is crucial to the story and well rendered.
Great side characters – Harry is one of the most obnoxious characters I’ve read recently, his blind stubbornness and callousness superbly written – and great writing style.
