REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THE SERIESI haven't read a bad H A Culley book and I have read most of this author's work. I can recommend his books to anyoneReal page Turner. Hooked from the start. The whole series of the books are a great readA very exciting story, but then again I always expect that from this great authorGreat book, historically accurate and well writtenSYNOPSISTwo young men, both disinherited, struggle to regain what is rightfully theirs. One is Ragnar Lodbrok, whose father, a minor king in Norway, loses his kingdom to the Swedish King Froh. The other is Edmund of Bebbanburg, exiled by King Eardwulf of Northumbria after the king kills Edmund's brother.How Ragnar recovers his father's kingdom, and goes on to conquer much of Scandinavia, and Edmund becomes the war leader of Northumbria - and the Viking king's bitter enemy - makes for an enthralling story. The two men clash several times, once during a raid when Ragnar's son is killed by Edmund's men and again when Edmund does his best to thwart the capture of Paris by the Vikings in 845. Ragnar swears to revenge himself against Edmund - now serving King ?lle, the last independent king of ancient Northumbria - and Ragnar invades Edmund's homeland. The two meet on the field of battle one last time. Only one will survive.
