Buy the book from:
Norway, AD 785. King Gorm betrays Jarl Harald and destroys his household, but Harald’s youngest son, Sigurd, escapes the massacre. His kin are dead, his home has been seized and surviving villagers have been carried into slavery. Hunted and uncertain whom he can trust, Sigurd commits himself to making the king answer for the oath he has broken.
Vengeance cannot be achieved alone, so Sigurd begins to gather a fellowship that includes Olaf, Bram the Bear, Black Floki and the shield-maiden Valgerd. Cunning, seamanship and warcraft become as important as raw courage as the young survivor tries to turn private grief into a campaign. The novel presents the origins of a leader whose authority must be earned among warriors before it can threaten a king.
