Description
PREORDER TIM HODKINSON'S EXCITING NEW VIKING ADVENTURE, THE BLAZING SEA, NOW!
Viking warrior Einar must take back control of his destiny in this thrilling historical adventure.
How do you defeat the undefeatable?
935 AD, Norway. Recovering from horrendous injuries, Einar is unable to fight, meaning he cannot win back his rightful lands in Orkney from his rival Eirik.
Eirik's men soon raid the Norwegian coast, led by a warrior called the Bear. Cruel and ferocious, the Bear possesses a legendary blade - one that gives him unmatched battle-skill. Such an extraordinary sword could be key to Einar's plans - but first he and his crewmates, the Wolf Coats, must contend with the Bear himself.
Caught between old foes and new ones, Einar must use all his wits to survive. But is a man who cannot wield a sword capable of being a true Viking warrior?
