Description

It is the mid-11th century, and Harald Sigurdsson is now king of Norway. It seems that all of his ambitions are fulfilled, until he receives a visit from the King of England's brother.

Banished by the king, Tostig Godwinson is a man on the run, full of jealousy and loathing. If he could persuade Hardrada to seize the throne of England, he could then become Earl of the North. Such a venture, however, could prove dangerous.

Meanwhile, Nikolias pursues Andreas across the vastness of Central Europe, to rescue his love, Leoni. Andreas has his heart set on killing Hardrada, as revenge for the wrongs done to him by the giant Viking. Can Nikolias find him in time, and save Leoni?

Against the backdrop of the furious struggle for the throne of England, this story of love, death, treachery, and destiny comes together on the blood-soaked fields of battle in the final part of Stuart G. Yates's Varangian series.
