Synopsis:
This novella is related to "Ansgar: The Struggle of a People. The Triumph of the Heart" (Part I of the epic trilogy The Windflower Saga). In a time not now and in a world not of our own: Kapa’a, Bogumil, and Koritane are the three youngest sons of King Ansgar of Kimbria and Queen Anwen Keholani, the High Chief of the Kimbrii people. These three brothers were only fourteen, twelve, and nine when their father died in a tragic accident, leaving them to enter manhood without his guidance. But we know almost nothing of what happens to these young men. The only mention in the novel "Ansgar" is that they leave Kimbria and settle elsewhere. This novella completes their story. It isn’t necessary to read Ansgar first, but it would provide a better understanding of the family, cultural, and geographic setting in which these brothers lived. The related novellas, The Feathered Crown, and Far Endeavor, also provide insight into their family history, sibling relationships, and the mixed cultural setting in which they were raised.

REVIEW
Three Brothers of Ansgar is another branch off novella telling the tale of the last sons of Ansgar and Keholani whom we met in Ansgar: Struggle of a People. Triumph of the Heart.
Three Brothers of Ansgar is a charming tale and Layland’s deliverance of the three brothers tale is what adds to the charm of the book. Each brothers story is told in their own chapter but then end with tons of loose ends. There is no closure as we move on to the next chapter which starts another brothers story. It might seem a bit off-putting, right? There is no need to worry as Layland wonderfully brings everything back together to conclude the three brother’s tale.
Three Brothers of Ansgar is the sweetest of the books in the series. The story of these last sons of Ansgar is pure soul searching romance. If you are a follower of the saga then you know what I mean. For new readers to help entice you a better title for the book would be “The Courtship of Three Brothers” and you will have a good idea of what Three Brothers of Ansgar is all about.
