Publisher's summary

Thorgrim Night Wolf, now somewhere on the south coast of Engla-land, may be closer to his goal of returning home than he has been since reaching Ireland years before, but he is still very, very far away. His son Harald, however, has ambitions beyond just getting home. Given command of one of the ships in the fleet, Harald sees a chance to put his courage on display, unleashing consequences that will lead Thorgrim into a fight against the powerful armies of Wessex, a fight he does not want.

As Thorgrim struggles to keep his men alive, his eldest son Odd leads the resistance to King Halfdan's ruthless attempts to expand his rule over Norway. When a plan to bring Halfdan to heel goes terribly wrong, Odd alone is taken prisoner, and brutally punished as an example to those who would defy their king. But Halfdan's brutality does not cow the freemen: Rather, it stokes their anger into a red-hot rage that only freeing Odd and extracting further vengeance can cool.

Travelers Tale

The different Kingdoms of the Viking world the story takes place in. Creates a wonderful cross section of the North Atlantic in the 12 th century.

Love spending time with the Norsemen characters!

So much fun to accompany Thorgrim and his fellow Vikings on their latest adventures. As usual, some parts were so exciting they left me breathless, and others had me calling out, wanting to tell the characters “don’t go that way” or “watch out, don’t trust that person”. Always sorry when the story ends but hope the next one comes soon.

The one I enjoyed the most of the series.

For some reason, this is the book I’ve enjoyed the most of the series. If you’ve made it this far in the series, it’s more of the same style. While you could start with this book, I recommend starting with book 1.
