******************************************************************************* IT BEGAN WITH THE BETRAYAL OF A LORD BY A KING…

Norway 785 AD. When King Gorm puts Jarl Harald’s family to the sword, he makes one fatal mistake - he fails to kill Harald’s youngest son, Sigurd.

His kin slain, his village seized, his taken as slaves, Sigurd wonders if the gods have forsaken him. Hunted by powerful men, he is unsure who to trust and yet he has a small band of loyal followers at his side. With them - and with the help of the All-Father, Odin - he determines to make a king pay for his treachery.

Using cunning and war-craft, Sigurd gathers together a fellowship of warriors - including his father’s right-hand man Olaf, Bram (who men call Bear), Black Floki who wields death with a blade, and the shield maiden Valgerd, who fears no man - and convinces them to follow him.

For, whether din is with him or not, Sigurd WILL have vengeance. And neither men nor gods had best stand in his way …

Sigurd’s story continues in Winter’s Fire.
