It is the eighth century; the Romans have been long gone. Britain has sunk into the dark ages with half a dozen kingdoms vying with each other for control of the island. Along come a brutish group of men set on gathering great wealth to take back home ~ The Norsemen are men not to be dealt with lightly.
Giles Kristian begins his trilogy by creating the character of "Raven", a young man who has no memory of his past, however when his town is raided by Sigurd the lucky, the Norse language comes to his lips naturally. Raven joins Sigurd and his Wolfpack as they go in search of a "church book" in order to win silver or glory in Valholl.
The story is fast paced, well written and worth the read.
