Packed with battles, blood and thrilling adventure, the third
blood-stirring chapter in the story of Raven and his fellow Viking
warriors is historical fiction at its very best.
We lusted for an even greater prize.... It is the one prize that can
never be lost or stolen or burnt. And we would find it in Miklagard....
Raven and the Wolfpack have suffered. Good men have died and the
treasures they fought so hard for have been lost. But to such men as
these there is something more valuable than silver. That thing is
fame-for fame is the saga-story that a Viking warrior leaves behind when
he dies.
Now the sea road leads to Constantinople, which Norsemen call Miklagard,
the Great City, for it is there that they might find both riches and
glory. But the Great City is far away and the voyage there takes the
Fellowship in to unknown waters where they face new enemies. From the
wind-whipped marshes of the Carmargue to the crumbling walls and arenas
of a decaying Rome, Raven must fight harder for his life than ever
before. He must prove himself to others-and he must watch his back too,
for an old enemy is sharpening his treacherous claws. The young warrior
with the blood-tainted eye will even challenge the Norns of fate who, it
is said, have spun his doom.
But the Valkyries are stalking, eager for new heroes to take to din's
hall. The clash of sword and axe and spear will ring out in Miklagard
and the Fellowship will pay a high price in blood for the fame they
seek.
