REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THE SERIES
I haven't read a bad H A Culley book and I have read most of this author's work.
I can recommend his books to anyone.
Real page Turner. Hooked from the start.
The whole series of the books are a great read.
A very exciting story, but then again I always expect that from this great author.
Great book, historically accurate and well written.
SYNOPSIS.
Two young men, both disinherited, struggle to regain what is rightfully theirs. One is Ragnar
Lodbrok whose father loses his Norse kingdom to the Swedish King Froh. The other is Edmund
of Bebbanburg, exiled by King Eardwulf of Northumbria after the king kills Edmund’s brother.
Ragnar recovery of his father’s kingdom before he goes on to conquer much of Scandinavia.
Meanwhile Edmund becomes the war leader of Northumbria and the Viking king's bitter enemy.
The two men clash several times, once during a raid when Ragnar’s son is killed by Edmund’s
men and again when Edmund does his best to thwart the capture of Paris by the Vikings in 845.
Ragnar swears to revenge himself against Edmund and invades Edmund’s homeland. The two
meet on the field of battle one last time. Only one will survive.
This enthralling story is the seventh in the series about the ancient kings of Northumbria.
