I wish my towns library had a way I could look through the books I've checked out previously. That would be nice. Cos' it was a really interesting story. I plan on digging at the library so if I find it before anyone figures it out I'll let you know.
I think this is possibly the Fool's Gold trilogy by Jude Fisher, aka Jane Johnson who also wrote the visual companions to The Lord of the Rings. I have read the trilogy, a long time ago, and from what I remember, many of your details fit.

Thank you that is it. will make the library visit less painful. :-)
I read this book around 2008. Was waiting for the sequel to be published but got distracted by life.
Parts of the book I remember:
* Lead is a woman
* Main character is named Rose or it's apart of the title. I really can't remember.
* There is a group of people who sail/are involved with ships, and they write in knots?
* A wizard keeping a woman captive or just away from the world for her "protection" or something. This is is vague, idk if it's right. But there is a wizard of some sort.
* A king or something, becomes involved with a woman I think he's uncontrollably "in love" with her? Her powers are causing it (tho from what I can remember she's not doing it on purpose. Totally could be wrong).
* There is also a group of side characters where one has a map tattooed to his body, and his partner checks it with candle light because it's moving. They're from what I remember thieves or something.
The author is a woman who studied JRR Tolkien and about Iceland, or enjoyed Iceland mythology/ JRR Tolkien. Believe she is from the UK
