OverviewThe BRAND NEW instalment in Peter Gibbons' thrilling Saxon Warrior Series!In the aftermath of the great battle of Maldon, justice is demanded and vengeance will be served!992AD King Aethelred’s the Unready’s army has been defeated at the historic Battle of Maldon by Viking invaders led by Olaf Tryggvason and King Sweyn Forkbeard. The strategic turning point of the battle was when Godric, an East Saxon Thegn, fled the battlefield taking with him the Saxon army, leaving behind his brothers to be massacred in a welter of blood and Norse axe blades. Saxon warrior Beornoth emerges from the ashes of defeat with his heart aflame with vengeance and when King Aethelred sends for Beornoth with orders to punish those traitors responsible for the crushing defeat, he heeds the king’s call. With a small band of loyal warriors, Beornoth embarks on an unforgiving journey across the perilous landscape to seek out Godric and exact his bloody revenge. They must fight their way through a world teeming with political intrigue, shifting alliances and the ever-present threat of the Vikings. Can Beornoth triumph over insurmountable odds in this pulse pounding quest for retribution? If you enjoyed The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell, you'll love Beornoth’s quest for vengeance!
