Blades of the south: The Norman saga- book 2

By J.P Thomason

Rollo is dead. Normandy belongs to William Longsword. And Bjorn Iron-Wulf rides south.

At thirty, he has spent his whole life building someone else's vision. Now he rides into the heat and chaos of Byzantine Italy - mercenary captain, unlikely diplomat, a man who speaks four languages and belongs fully to none of the worlds around him.

What he finds: the Varangian Guard. A Lombard prince who wants lessons in survival. An Arab diplomat who thinks the same way he does. And his son Harald - sixteen years old, arriving on a Bari dock with his mother's eyes and a single question: where do we begin?

Across twenty years in the sun-scorched Mezzogiorno, father and son build something no conqueror planned and no chronicle recorded. Not a dynasty. A method. A way of standing between things and making the crossing possible.

Blades of the South is the second volume of The Norman Saga - a sweeping historical trilogy set in the world that made the Normans.

For readers of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.
