Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction where warfare and politics collide, with the level of gritty detail Cornwell and Gemmell deliver.
You're drawn to characters fighting to prove themselves against impossible odds and harder men.
You want Norse sagas without needing to learn Old English or wade through dense mythology.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your Vikings mythologised and supernatural rather than grounded in 9th century conquest and strategy.
You need a female lead or meaningful female perspective in your historical fiction.
You're looking for a standalone rather than committing to a multi-book saga.

About this book

Set in 865 AD, this novel follows Hundr, a Northman warrior, as he joins a crew of Viking fighters commanded by Einar the Brawler during the invasion of Saxon England. The invasion is led by the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok, seeking spoils, conquest, and vengeance for their father's death. Among them is Ivar the Boneless. Hundr must establish himself as a warrior while operating under the scrutiny of Ivar and his brothers. He faces threats from both Saxon enemies and treachery within the Viking ranks. The story follows his efforts to survive brutal combat, navigate the complexities of the invasion, and carve out his place in the Viking world. The narrative features battles, violence, and a cast of memorable characters.
