About the book
The upcoming installment of Peter Gibbons' captivating Saxon Warrior series is here - Storm of War.
The fate of a divided Kingdom lies in the hands of a select few courageous men...
In the year 990AD, King Aethelred II, later to be known as The Unready, struggles to maintain control as his mother Queen Ælfthryth and the dominant Church wield their influence.
When Viking Warlord Olaf Tryggvason senses an opportunity due to the Kingdom's vulnerability, he rallies the brutal Jomsvikings to the Saxon coast, hungry for bloodshed and riches.
Lord Byrthnoth, the East Saxons' Ealdorman, and his loyal Saxon Thegn Beornoth lead a fierce group of Viking-slaying warriors, equal in skill and brutality to their Norse foes, to defend the Kingdom against threats from both within and beyond the sea.
As they face unimaginable challenges and dangers, their courage and strength are put to the ultimate test in the battle for the survival of the Saxon realm.
In a gripping tale of deceit, revenge, and warfare, will Beornoth emerge triumphant against his adversaries and safeguard the Kingdom from annihilation?
Storm of War is the latest installment in the captivating Viking historical fiction series by Peter Gibbons, following the thrilling start in Warrior & Protector.
