Late Winter, City of Jorvik.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEinar Unnsson is destined to be a great Icelandic warrior, whether he wants it or not. He has already defeated the men sent to kill him by his notorious father, Jarl Thorfinn, the Skull Cleaver of Orkney. He has a gift that makes him lethal in battle. Yet, he has cast it all off to be a bard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen three men attack him, Einar's poetry provides little protection. Luckily, the skilled archer and Norse-Irish princess Affreca saves him. She'd assumed Einar had left to raise an army, challenge Thorfinn and seize the Jarldom of Orkney. Now, she's determined to set him back onto his rightful path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEinar soon finds himself entangled on Affreca's own mission. She's seeking the Raven Banner for King Eirik. Legend has it that the banner is imbued with powerful magic. That it was a gift from the Norse God Odin and any army that marches behind it will be victorious. The quest sets events in motion that are beyond Einar's control. Einar has no choice but to face his fate and swing his sword once more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews for Tim Hodkinson:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn excellently written page-turner, with a feel for the period that invites you into the era and keeps you there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorical Writers Association:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gripping action adventure, like the sagas of old; and once finished, you just want to go back and read it all over again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelisende's Library:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAST-PACED, DETAILED AND BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN [FOR] FANS OF BERNARD CORNWELL, GEORGE R.R.
