If you enjoy reading Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, and David Gemmell, then you will definitely be captivated by this Viking adventure saga filled with epic battles, revenge, and intense violence. In the year 874 AD, in the harsh land of Norway where Odin reigns supreme, King Harald Fairhair is in a fierce battle to claim the throne in the north.
Meet Hundr, a brave Northman with an unusual name... accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors... and embarking on a legendary war where the gods' will determines the outcome.
After causing the anger of Ketil Flatnose, the Jarl of the Orkney islands, Hundr and his crew are pulled into King Harald's quest for dominion over all of Norway. Hundr must retrieve the mythical Yngling sword, crafted for the gods themselves, and earn the favor of his old friend, Bjorn Ironside, while facing the ruthless and dangerous foe, BlackGorm the Berserker.
Join Hundr as he navigates through the chaos of war, survives brutal assaults, and aids Harald in becoming the ultimate King of War in this fast-paced adventure featuring compelling characters and intense action.
King of War is the latest installment in the gripping Viking historical fiction series that commenced with the debut novel Viking Blood and Blade from the acclaimed author, Peter Gibbons.
