About the book
If you enjoy the works of Bernard Cornwell, David Gemmell, John Gwynne, and Conn Iggulden, then you will be enthralled by this Viking adventure filled with epic battles, treachery, and the clash of axes and swords.
In the year 881 AD, in Northumbria, Hundr, known as The Man with the Dogs Name, embarks on raids along England's coastline, challenging Viking champions to single combat. Haunted by the loss of his wife and child in a brutal war against Rollo the Betrayer, Hundr seeks solace in the chaos of battle.
He is a Northman named Hundr, known for his ruthlessness in battle, facing off against Viking warlords in savage fights, amidst epic battles and unexpected twists.
Lost in a fierce sea storm, Hundr is captured by his fellow Vikings and forced to fight in the hjaldr-garth slave fighting pit. Einar the Brawler, desperate to find his friend, travels through the Danelaw in search of the one-eyed warrior. As Hundr struggles to survive and escape the fighting pit, Einar confronts a formidable foe, testing their skills and endurance to the limit.
Will Hundr overcome betrayal and brutal gladiatorial combat in this fast-paced Viking tale, filled with compelling characters and bloody action?
The Lost Viking is the latest installment in an unforgettable historical Viking fiction series by the acclaimed author Peter Gibbons, following the success of his debut novel Viking Blood and Blade.
