Einar Unnsson, wants revenge. His mother's assassin has stolen her
severed head and Einar is hungry for his blood. Only one thing

every day. Only there, in his homeland, can he avenge his mother

where an old enemy lurks, and his thirst for vengeance equals
Einar's... Read Tim Hodkinson's newest epic Viking adventure.

HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY When you can't protect everyone, who will
you save? Iceland, AD 935 Einar Unnsson is destined to be great.
When he fights, a frenzy comes upon him. It makes him lethal in
battle – so lethal he just defeated the man his own father sent
to kill him. Now, with Einar exiled from his kingdom, his father
turns his vengeance on Einar's mother – his escaped former
bedslave. Yet Einar is in no position to protect her. He's made an
enemy of the powerful King Eirik and must fight for his own life
before he can save her. Einar depends on the Wolf Coats, a band of
fearsome, bloodthirsty warriors, but they're convinced the fates
have cursed them. Will Einar's skill in battle be enough to save
his mother? Or will the Wolf Coats' superstition destroy them all?

deadly mission. A thrilling blend of legend and history, bloody
battles and daring deeds by the author of the Whale Road
Chronicles. A priceless relic - a thankless quest - who will make
it out alive? Britannia, 58 AD. Fergus MacAmergin is a man out of
place. An Irish Celt, he passes as a Gaul and rides with the Roman
cavalry, affirming Nero's control over the province. Fergus dreams
of escaping the fetters ofhis birth and living freely as a citizen
of Rome. When Fergus's commander makes a battlefield error, Fergus
is blamed. He and his men are given a thankless task: a quest that
spells danger, despair, and near-certain death. The mission: to
find the Holy Lance, the spear that wounded Christ on the Cross.
The young Tribune Agricola is drawn into the quest, and he and
Fergus must overlook their differences to survive. But there are

of England. Scotland and England are at war. The Scots intend to
invade Ireland and someone in Ireland is helping them. Savage
returns to a land where he cannot be sure who to trust. Robert
Bruce, King of Scotland, is said to possess a mysterious treasure,
and many are flocking to his cause. Efficient, brutal killers are
on the loose and in the middle of it all is Alys de Logan, Savage's
former love who he abandoned to join the Templars, who some say has
become a witch. Amid feasts, tournaments and war, Savage discovers
he left more than just memories behind in Ireland. Can he decide
whose side he in on, where Bruce's secret treasure is and above
all, stay alive?

Viking adventure. How do you defeat the undefeatable? 935 AD,
Norway. Recovering from horrendous injuries, Einar finds himself
unable to fight. He is not strong enough to defeat his rival,
Eirik, who has seized Orkney despite Einar being the rightful Jarl.
Eirik's men soon raid the Norwegian coast, led by a warrior called
the Bear. Cruel and ferocious, the Bear possesses a legendary blade
- one that gives him a skill in battle that cannot be matched. Such
an extraordinary sword could be key to Einar's plans - but first he
and the Wolf Coats must contend with the Bear himself. Caught
between old foes and new ones, Einar must use all his wits to
survive. But is a man who cannot wield a sword capable of being a
true Viking warrior? Reviews for Tim Hodkinson: 'Will appeal to
