Synopsis

For fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden comes the tale of Olaf Tryggvason and his adventures in the battle-scarred kingdom of Wagria.

It is AD 972. Olaf Tryggvason and his oath-sworn protector, Torgil, are once again on the move. They have left the Rus kingdom and now travel the Baltic Sea in search of plunder and fame. But a fateful storm lands them on the Vendish coastline in a kingdom called Wagria (present-day Holstein).

There, they find themselves caught between the aggression of the Danes, the political aspirations of the Wagrian lords, and the shifting politics in Saxland. Can they survive or will they become just one more casualty of kingly ambitions? Find out in this harrowing sequel to the bestselling Forged by Iron and Sigurd's Swords.

About Eric Schumacher

Eric Schumacher was born in Los Angeles in 1968. He is the author of three historical fiction novels, God's Hammer and its sequels, Raven's Feast and War King.

Eric's fascination with Vikings and medieval history began at a young age, though exactly why is not clear. While Los Angeles has its own unique history, there are no destroyed monasteries or Viking burial sites or hidden hoards buried in fields. Still, from the earliest age, he was drawn to books about Viking kings and warlords and was fascinated by their stories and the turbulent times in which they lived. He began writing as a child, though never considered it as a career until he was in his second year of international business school and living in Germany. Poor timing to be sure, but better late than never. It was there that Eric began researching and writing God's Hammer, his first novel. Eric now resides in Santa Barbara with his wife, his two children, and his dog.

Eric Schumacher’s third novel in his Olaf collection evidences real digging through mists and murkiness of Norse sagas to tell an admirable tale of the Viking world. Torgil, oath-bound to Olaf marries his lady-love, yet faces separation from her in following his friend on a Viking odyssey. The commi......more

Goodreads review by John

What a ride. A great read yet again. Olaf is quite the character. Outgoing and full of confidence, nothing seems to faze him. Torgil, his faithful companion and a man who has sworn an oath to protect Olaf is getting a little fed up with it. What he goes through shows how important a sworn oath is. Tw......more

Goodreads review by Ted

Another great read If you enjoy historical fiction, especially related to the Viking age, you owe it to yourself to read ALL of Mr. Schumacher's books. He is a master skald and you absolutely become immersed in his stories. I truly enjoyed this part of Olaf's saga, and cannot wait for the next chapte......more
