About this listen
The start of a series - an unputdownable fast paced adventure, filled with unforgettable characters.
Peace lies in tatters. The Viking's are bloodthirsty for revenege. Who will rise to repel these invaders?
989 AD.
Alfred the Great’s dream of a united England has been forged by his daughter Aethelfaed and grandson, King Aethelstan.
The Vikings have been expelled from York following the death of Erik Bloodaxe, and for two generations there has been peace between Saxon and Dane.
A new Viking warlord Olaf Tryggvason seeks revenge for Bloodaxe's death and the slaughter that followed, and has set his sights on a fresh assault on England’s shores. With Skarde Wartooth they set sail for Saxon lands, hungry for glory, conquest and vengeance.
Beornoth, a brutal and battle-hardened Saxon Thegn, is called to arms to fight and protect the Saxon people from the savage Norse invaders. On a personal crusade, he joins the army of Byrthnoth, Lord of the east Saxons in a desperate fight against the bloodthirsty Vikings.
Beornoth must lay his own demons to bed, survive vicious attacks and find redemption for his tragic past.
If you like Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden, and David Gemmell you will love this epic Saxon adventure packed with battles, Vikings, and adventure.

Violent Warfare at it’s Best
A different time in history. A time before gunpowder . Men fought with Sword, Shield , Spear , and Axe. Vicious and Violent deaths, Incredibly described in a very entertaining fashion. A story of a warrior that had everything and lost all he had. With the death of his children , and rape of his wife. He fights the Vikings to get it all back. And fight for revenge, unless his enemies within his own Saxon people, kill him.
