The start of a brand NEW series - an unputdownable fast paced
adventure, filled with unforgettable characters. 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. Priase for Warrior and Protector 'Epic, brutal action, a
flawed hero defending his people while fighting his own demons,
implacable ruthless invaders, treacherous nobles, Warrior and
Protector has them all'- Matthew Harffy 'Bloody and brutal,
everything you want from a novel about 10th century England.
Peter's vivid writing really brings the story to life.' - Donovan
Cook 'A superbly atmospheric tale of redemption that pitches the
English against Viking raiders and resounds with the fierceness of
battle-hardened warriors' - MJ Porter 'Thunderously atmospheric!
Gibbons once again proves himself a master of Viking & Dark Age
lore.' - Gordon Doherty 'Absolutely cracking. The best Viking saga
I've read in years. A joy to pick up again.' - Ross Greenwood
