Six years after The Half-Drowned King, Ragnvald Eysteinsson is now
king of Sogn, but fighting battles for King Harald keeps him away
from home, as he confronts treachery and navigates a political
landscape that grows more dangerous the higher he rises. Ragnvald's
sister Svanhild has found the freedom and adventure she craves at
the side of the rebel explorer Solvi Hunthiofsson, though not
without a cost. She longs for a home where her quiet son can grow
strong, and a place where she can put down roots, even as Solvi's
ambition draws him back to Norway's battles again and keeps her
divided from her brother. As a growing rebellion unites King
Harald's enemies, Ragnvald suspects that some Norse nobles are not
loyal to Harald's dream of a unified Norway. He sets a plan in
motion to defeat all of his enemies, and bring his sister back to
his side, while Svanhild finds herself with no easy decisions, and
no choices that will leave her truly free. Their actions will hold
irrevocable repercussions for the fates of those they love and for
Norway itself. The Sea Queen returns to the fjords and halls of
Viking-Age Scandinavia, a world of violence and prophecy, where
honor is challenged by shifting alliances, and vengeance is always
a threat to peace. Praise for The Half-Drowned King: 'Suspenseful,
intriguing, gripping' New York Journal of Books 'An unusual Viking
saga... creates a more nuanced and richer portrait of Viking
society, with its complex web of rituals, laws and debts of honour,
than the genre usually provides' Sunday Times 'Like Game of
Thrones, only more unscrupulous' Wall St Journal
