First in an action-packed historical series featuring Danish warrior
Styrkar, and his journey through the Battle of Hastings and the violence
of the Norman Conquest.
The champion of a dead king has nothing left to lose... And nothing more
to fear.
England, 1066.
Styrkar the Dane stumbles wounded and delirious from the corpse-strewn
battlefield of Senlac Hill, the Battle of Hastings still fresh in his
mind. He has watched his king butchered at the hands of foreign knights,
seen his countrymen defeated in battle, and he will not stop until there
is a reckoning.
Styrkar embarks on a bloody quest to avenge his dead master, becoming an
outlaw in the wilds and earning a fearsome reputation. When a Breton
knight seeks to track down this fugitive and make his own name, he can
little envisage the task he has set himself. For Styrkar, the Red Wolf,
last surviving housecarl to King Harold Godwinson, will carve the story
of his vengeance in Frankish flesh... or die in the attempt.
