Path of Gods

In Book 3 of the Valhalla Sag, Ulfar and Audun have joined up with Sigurd and Sven from Stenvik, who are on their way to join Forkbeard’s army to the north so that they can do battle with King Olav.  On the way they join Jolawer Scot and Alfgeir who are on the same mission.

To the north, at Trondheim, King Olav is gathering an army, too.  But can he really trust those who have come to join him?

Further north, Valgard is preparing to cause trouble for everyone.  He felt his power growing as he neared Trondheim.  He has Loki at his back.  When Valgard gets to Trondheim with his trolls and wreaks death and destruction, King Olav refuses the help of Odin, who then leaves.  Olav is forced to sail away with only sixty men.

Hearing that Olav is going south, Forkbeard and his crew also turn south, while Sven, Sigurd, Ulfar and Audun continue north.

Author Snorri Kristjansson has a major battle awaiting Ulfar and Audun, but who will win?  Only the gods know for sure. 

I’m not really a fan of fantasy, but this Valhalla Saga was a fun read.  A good read for fans of fantasy.
