If you like Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, David Gemmell and Giles Kristian, you will love this epic Viking adventure, packed with battles, treachery, blood and gore.
He fought for glory. Now he must fight for ambition.
Fresh from the brutal Siege of Paris, the feared Viking warlord Ivar the Boneless turns his gaze west—to the fractured kingdoms of Ireland, where crowns are ripe for the taking and blood will decide kingship.
At his side sails Einar the Brawler, a battle-hardened Viking captain with nothing to his name but his axe, the Warship Seaworm, and a hunger for something more. When Ivar entrusts Einar with an impossible task—hold the fortress of Bloodshed Bay against the rising fury of Ireland—he offers a prize no warrior could refuse: Victory will make Einar a sea-jarl. Failure will leave him buried in a foreign land.
But Ireland is no easy conquest.
Rallying against them is Feidlimid mac Crimthainn, the fierce Bishop-King of Munster—a brutal warrior of faith and fire, commanding an savage and ruthlessly relentless army. As storm winds lash the coast and war drums echo through the valleys, Einar must defend Bloodshed Bay against overwhelming odds.
In a land of enemies, Einar finds something he never expected—love. And with it, a new reason to fight… or a weakness that could destroy him. As Ivar schemes to claim the High Kingship of Ireland and eclipse the fame of his legendary brothers, Einar stands at the edge of destiny.
Hold the fortress. Or die forgotten. Find out which in this fast paced adventure prequel to Peter Gibbons' Viking Blood and Blade saga, with unforgettable characters and heart pumping battles
