The Fall of the Iron Prow

By Timothy Kearns

In November of 1219, Vikings attack Constantinople, sacked and ruined by crusaders twenty years before, and in the streets of the empty city, a boy who has become a man fights against them to save everything he loves. But first he must learn to bear the shame of his house, a secret now lost: his father was the greatest traitor the Byzantine Empire had ever known. In the crucible of a world at war, Niall Alreksson fights for the fate of the Queen of Cities, and with it the line of emperors that has stood for a thousand years. This volume ncludes maps and an appendix on the history of the Viking Imperial Guard, the Varangians, who guarded the life of the Byzantine emperor.
