In the year 878 AD, in Norway, the intense struggle for Harald Fairhair's throne has ended, but a final battle sets a group of Viking Warriors on a dangerous and bloody mission.
Hundr, a Northman with an unusual name... a team of seasoned fighters... and a journey that will decide the destiny of Ragnarok itself.
The warriors of the ship Seaworm brave the treacherous Whale Road across Viking Europe in the quest for a legendary spear believed to have been crafted by Odin. Ragnhild, Hundr's sword-sister and Valkyrie Priestess, must find the mythical weapon in order to be reinstated into her order. Standing in their path is the Burned Man, a ruthless warlord seeking vengeance, willing to do anything to eliminate Hundr and his friend Einar the Brawler.
Hundr must join the battle for King Alfred's emerging Kingdom of England and return to the grand city of Novgorod. Will he be able to survive brutal assaults and fierce shield wall confrontations in this thrilling adventure filled with captivating characters and brutal combat?
Valkyrie Rising continues the captivating Viking historical fiction series that started with the debut novel Viking Blood and Blade from Award Winning Author Peter Gibbons.
