Book
Blood Feud
Scandinavia and the eastern routes, AD 1040. Christianisation has transformed royal power, but communities loyal to the old gods still survive at its margins. Halfdan watches a Christian jarl destroy his village, topple its Odin stone and kill his father, leaving him bound by an oath of vengeance.
An unlikely crew gathers around the young warrior and pursues Yngvar far beyond Sweden. Their voyage is shaped by belief in gods and monsters, but also by the political realities of King Olof’s changing kingdom and the networks linking Scandinavia to the east. Halfdan’s blood feud creates the Wolves of Odin, a band whose loyalty will be tested by every land they enter.
