Dragonheart

Dragonheart is a long Viking saga centred on Jarl Dragon Heart, his kin and his warrior band. The books move through raiding, revenge, settlement, family succession and conflict across the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, Saxon England, Norway and wider Viking routes. The sequence is less a single campaign than a generational Norse adventure built around reputation, honour and survival.
