The Northmen’s Fury tells the Viking story, from the first pinprick raids of the eighth century to the great armies that left their Scandinavian homelands to conquer larger parts of France, Britain and Ireland. It recounts the epic voyages that took them across the Atlantic to the icy fjords of Greenland and to North America over four centuries before Columbus and east to the great rivers of Russia and the riches of the Byzantine empire. One summer’s day in 793, death arrived from the sea. The raiders who sacked the island monastery of Lindisfarne were the first Vikings, sea-borne attackers who brought two centuries of terror to northern Europe. Before long the sight of their dragon-prowed longships and the very name of Viking gave rise to fear and dread, so much so that monks were reputed to pray each night for delivery from ‘the Northmen’s Fury’. Yet for all their reputation as bloodthirsty warriors, the Vikings possessed a sophisticated culture that produced art of great beauty, literature of abiding power and kingdoms of surprising endurance. The Northmen’s Fury describes how and why a region at the edge of Europe came to dominate and to terrorise much of the rest of the continent for nearly three centuries and how, in the end, the coming of Christianity and the growing power of kings tempered the Viking ferocity and stemmed the tide of raids. It relates the astonishing achievement of the Vikings in forging far-flung empires whose sinews were the sea and whose arteries were not roads but maritime trading routes. The blood of the Vikings runs in millions of veins in Europe and the Americas and the tale of their conquests, explorations and achievements continues to inspire people around the world.

A historical/adventure novel steeped in intrigue, battles, and blood feuds. If you were ever tired of the Hollywood version of history with its silly romances and pure-hearted heroes, then this intense, fast-paced novel is for you. Through the eyes of a young viking warrior on his first raid of the Irish coast, you will experience life as it really was: dark, brutal, and short. The novel is set in the late 8th century and features the inner workings of a Scandinavian settlement bent on looting lands to the west. Not only will you visualize the necessary preparations taken, but you will come to know the intense rivalries within their ranks which caused the vikings to kill more of each other than anyone else. Once enjoined in battle, viking savagery is legendary: close quarter fighting, unmerciful dealings with captives, and an irreverence toward men of the cloth portray a time when kill or be killed, smash and grab, and woe to the vanquished were the only laws followed.

In the land of the midnight sun, kingdoms are forged with iron and blood. Odin demands the blood of vanquished enemies to claim the land and the marrying off of a king's own flesh and blood to hold it. Thorfinn Gundersson is cursed by the gods. Wherever he walks, blood soaks his every step. His mother died bringing him into the world, his friends die and now burdened by a promised wife at only sixteen, even this unwanted marriage promises bloodshed instead of peace. When a rival king's son is spurned by the arranged marriage, Thorfinn's father and older brothers march off to war, leaving him the lone heir to defend their homeland. Thorfinn grudgingly remains behind, but soon learns the cloak of a ruling lord hangs heavy as raiders torch the countryside and fugitive men stalk the forest. But within the walls of Gundergard his most dangerous enemy is the one he cannot see. Treacherous schemers attempt to sabotage the union and dishonor Thorfinn. He must fight not only to uphold his good name, but for his very life as well. To a Norseman, some fates are worse than death, and Thorfinn's plight will ripple through history, crashing waves upon the Western shores.
