Description
Book SynopsisIf you like Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell, you will love this spellbinding Viking adventure, packed with battles, blood and gore, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lancelot, Giles Kristian.
An unabashed carnival of bloodletting and betrayal...Kristian has a knack for writing real blokes living their lives, not reciting their author''s research. -- DAILY TELEGRAPH
A gripping tale of action and treachery which splendidly conjures up the sounds, sights and smells of Dark Age Britain... - HARRY SIDEBOTTOM
A powerful, lightning-paced tale of the Norsemen in England... - BERNARD CORNWELL
I have been thoroughly overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of Kristian''s writing style, depth and colour of story, meaningful characters and clever humour. I have been most definitely impressed and have almost finished the 3rd book in the series. Time to return to the beg

A gripping tale of action and treachery which splendidly conjures up the sounds, sights and smells of Dark Age Britain.
