Book
The Serpent King
First published 2021
The North Atlantic, AD 936. Einar is consumed by the murder of his mother and the theft of her severed head, but his oath to the Wolf Coats requires him to join their campaign against Eric Bloodaxe. Their enemy has taken the Norwegian throne and is determined to eliminate the warriors who oppose him.
Einar’s need for personal revenge repeatedly conflicts with the obligations of the warband. When the pursuit leads back towards Iceland, he discovers that an older enemy is waiting there with an equally powerful grievance, turning vengeance into a contest from which neither side expects reconciliation.
