Book
Brothers in Blood
Hrolf the Horseman’s grandsons grow up within a Norse family whose fortunes are becoming tied to the Frankish lands that will eventually form Normandy. The two boys share the same blood and warrior heritage, but a violent streak in one of them begins to turn youthful rivalry into something far more dangerous.
As they come of age, family loyalty is strained by ambition, fear and the expectations placed on young warriors. Their conflict unfolds against the unstable world of Viking settlement in northern Francia, where Norse leaders are fighting to secure land, defend new communities and establish the power from which the Norman polity will emerge.
