Fury of the Northmen: Thorfinn Kin-Slayer Saga

By Ryan von Hilderbrand

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.
