More About This Book

Overview

Godric is the bastard son of Eadric Streona, spurned by Eadric’s wife and promised nothing by society. At a young age his life is steeped with murder, loss, and betrayal. Godric seems destined for a life of exile and insignificance, but he swears to avenge his father’s death, no matter what the cost.

Living under the roof of Thorkell the Tall, he learns to become a Jomsviking. The life of a warrior brings Godric comfort, but his hunger for vengeance remains. He finds a new identity for himself and successfully reenters the royal court, where he initiates his plans of assassination. As success grows closer, however, he finds himself hurting the people he loves more than the man that he hates. He watches himself become his own worst enemy, and can only hope to change his ways before he tears his own world apart.

Editorial Reviews

Kay Blalock, Ph.D.
"Once again, Jayden Woods creates a contextually factual and colorful narrative that will enlighten as well as entertain the reader. Her fictional characters, as in the first Sons of Mercia volume, become real people in the reader’s mind, adding to rather than taking away from the historic possibilities she creates... As an historian, I highly recommend Godric the Kingslayer."
--Kay J. Blalock, Ph.D.

Sandra Sadowski
"Rich characters, misery, betrayal, sex and a dose of brutal Viking violence, mixed together for an easy, enjoyable read!"
--Medievalists.net

    Historical fiction at its finest!

    Brilliantly, this series is written across the gaps in real historical documentation, in a time period that leaves much to the imagination. To take a kingdom that existed in the same era as Camelot, which has been done a thousand times, and make it come alive was simply genius. The characters are as complex as real people, and the story leaves no questionable turns - even the tragedies feel like they belong perfectly. This is one of those stories that makes each character easy to hate and to love at the same time - it was difficult to squelch my desire to speed-read - but it was worth savoring! I cannot wait to see more of this genre from Jayden Woods.
