Nach Jahrhunderten der Vorherrschaft erleben die Wikinger erstmals einen großen Umbruch ihrer Gesellschaft. Um die nordische Götterwelt zu beschwichtigen, sendet man einen jungen Abgesandten auf eine abenteuerliche Reise, die den Veränderungen Einhalt gebieten soll.
A gripping, acclaimed action-packed Viking epic.
Set in the 10th century, when Viking raids were at their peak, Paul Watkins spins a tale that covers three continents. After centuries of ranging unchecked across the northern world, the fortunes of the Vikings have begun to turn. In this time of violent change, a young man, struck by lightning, is believed to be marked by the gods as a keeper of the Norse religion's greatest secret. To save the Norse faith and himself, he embarks upon a journey that takes him far beyond the boundaries of the known world, where he must confront not only his own gods but the gods of a people yet more savage.
'Few contemporary novelists have the ability to grab readers by the throat with such intense story-telling power and not release them until the final page has been turned.' Sunday Times
