Book Overview

Linnea Hartsuyker brings myth and legend roaring to life in this superbly good page-turning saga of Viking-era Norway. The book's fiercest magic shines in the characters of Ragnvald and Svanhild, as unforgettable a brother and sister duo as I can remember.

Customer Reviews

Viking historical fiction at its best

Loved this book start to finish. Fast paced plot with great, meaningful detail. It felt like there was no part of this book I didn’t love. The characters, the world building, the plot twists and turns, the battle scenes, the complex dynamics. I really wanted to read a Viking historical fiction to see that part of history brought to life (and not just as a side show for English historical fiction), and this was just so perfect! I can’t stop raving about this book! I’ve recommended it to everyone I know. Definitely worth picking up a copy ◡̈ This is one of my favorite series

This is everything I've been wanting in a book.

Beautiful story, wonderfully developed characters, great setting, complex plot. Nothing but love.
