Synopsis

Having recovered from the wounds of battle and having won for himself a fortune, a crew, and a longship, Thorgrim Night Wolf makes ready to leave the Viking town of Dubh-linn for the long journey back to his home in Norway. But the gods have other plans, and Thorgrim and his men wash up in the small Viking longphort of Vík-ló. Thinking themselves among friends, they soon learn that the opposite is true, that Grimarr Giant, the Lord of Vík-ló, has reason to want Thorgrim and his son Harald dead. In a world where they cannot tell friend from foe, a world of violence at sea and on land, Thorgrim, Harald, Ornolf, Starri, and their band of Norsemen find themselves once again fighting not just for plunder but for their very survival.

Goodreads review by Sharon Jess on August 18, 2018

Interesting and entertaining read. I very much enjoyed this book. Hard to put down. However unlike the previous two books in this series, it had an amazing amount of typos. Hard to think it was actually proofread. If you like this time period and culture, this series is a good read.......more

Unrealistic Events I’m sorry to say that the author has painted several of the characters to be very weak minded, unable to handle ANY kind of planning, and with a total inability to see obvious signs of subterfuge being planned against them. In particular Harald Thorgrinsson and the other Norwegians......more
