Jarl Dragonheart takes his wolf warriors farther from home than before, following raiding and political opportunities beyond the familiar waters of Britain and Scandinavia. Former allies become enemies, and the voyage carries the Norsemen south into the Mediterranean and toward Africa before they reach the wealthy, dangerous world of Byzantium.
At the court of Emperor Nikephoros I, Dragonheart encounters a form of power very different from the halls of northern jarls. Diplomacy, treachery and imperial ambition matter as much as strength in battle. The novel broadens the clan’s world through sea fighting and overland campaigning, showing how Viking mobility can carry a warrior from local feud to the centre of one of the era’s great empires.
