Synopsis

With their ill-fated raid on the monastary at Glendalough torn apart by betrayal and defeat, Thorgrim Night Wolf and his handful of survivors from the crew of Sea Hammer find themselves in desperate and tenuous straits. Stranded far from the safety of Vík-ló, surrounded by enemies, and with barely enough men to work the longship's oars, the Norsemen must make their way back through a dangerous and uncertain country. Thorgrim, however, is not interested in mere survival. His one thought, his one desire, is to take revenge on those whose treachery led to the slaughter of so many of his men. Assembling an ad hoc army of unlikely allies, Thorgrim leads his warriors to a final showdown that can end only in his enemies' death or his own.

Goodreads review by R on December 27, 2021

Basic, good read I’d give it a five star except for: - terrible editing that makes the book difficult to read, having to read a word that doesn’t fit in the sentence, then decide what word the author meant to use before the auto edit software kicks in. I’m assuming the author has a good handle on the......more

Goodreads review by Colin on September 26, 2017

I'm conflicted about this one. On one hand, Nelson's stories are getting formulaic - the Irish can't be trusted! the other Vikings are psychotic! - and his characters are whipsaws - Louis is glad for this chance to escape, oh wait, I mean he hates the heathens! - but at the same time it's an adventur......more

In the last saga Thorgrim Night Wolf was left in dire straights after a series treacherous acts. He vowed revenge. This is the story of his revenge.
