Avalon by Anya Seton

This book has nothing to do with Avalon, as you would think of it from books like The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, but it is still a pretty good book. It's set in the dark ages in England, when the Vikings were exploring and/or pillaging anything and anywhere. There are kind of two main characters, a prince named Rumon and a beautiful girl named Merewyn. It's not exactly a typical romance, as they manage to keep missing each other when it comes to love. The author seemed to be more interested in focusing on what really happened in that part of history, rather than changing history to make it a typical love story, which I greatly appreciate.
