Synopsis

Spring, AD 777. Sigurd Hring, new King of the Svear, is summoning all the greatest warriors of the North to his banner. He invites Bjarki Bloodhand, the famous berserkr, to swear an oath of fealty to him. But Bjarki has already sailed away to rescue a beautiful Saxon princess. Tor Hildarsdottir, sister of Bjarki, now oath-bound to a powerful Svearland jarl, finds herself unwillingly enrolled in Sigurd’s mighty army. When Sigurd Hring arrogantly rejects the overlordship of Siegfried, King of the Dane-Mark, red war is inevitable. The two sides agree to meet on the field of honour at Norrkoping on the Svealand border. But Bjarki has sworn an oath to Siegfried, while Tor must fight for her lord and homeland. So the siblings will face each other over the shield-rims in a battle to end all battles to decide who shall be . . . King of the North.

Goodreads review by Rowdy

The Fire Born series is always a solid read. This volume takes the characters farther north than they’ve ever been before for the meat of the book, with most of it taking place in Västergötland and Östergötland (nowadays part of southern Sweden). It’s a very good epic tale based on the legendary bat......more

So. All of his books are all things of brilliance. So much so that I’ve reinstalled the Kindle app, so that I can read his latest book (that won’t be a ‘physical’ one for a while).......more
