Viking: A Viking Historical Fiction Adventure

by Ole Åsli, Tony Bakkejord

Overview

A band of fierce Viking warriors. A battle with enemies on both sides. A young man just trying to survive.
Ulv, a youth raised on a tiny farm far from the jarls and warriors, faces his first raid with trepidation. With no seafaring or fighting experience, he's no warrior, no Viking. Yet he must prove himself to the Jarl and his crew. When disaster strikes, Ulv challenges a formidable warrior to a duel as his only means of escape. Against all odds, he must defeat an opponent twice his size if he is to survive. But survival seems unlikely, and victory even more so.
Can Ulv rise from obscurity and earn honour in the eyes of the Jarl, or is he doomed to a life of enslavement?
Viking' heralds the start of the 'Viking Ventures' series, a gritty Viking historical fiction saga. For those who enjoy underdog stories with intense action, fierce battles and authentic characters in an unforgiving world, Åsli and Bakkjord's latest instalment is a must-read.
