About this listen

The greatest warriors are forged in the flamesTwo pagan fighters.

771AD, Northern Europe. Bjarki Bloodhand and Tor Hildarsdottir are journeying south into Saxony. Their destination is the Irminsul, the One Tree that links the Nine Worlds of the Middle-Realm. In this most holy place, they hope to learn how to summon their animal spirits so they can enter the ranks of the legendary berserkir: the elite frenzied fighters of the North.

One Christian king

Karolus, newly crowned King of the Franks, has a thorn in his side: the warlike Saxon tribes on his northern borders who shun the teachings of the Church, blasphemously continuing to worship their pagan gods.

An epic battle for the soul of the North

The West's greatest warlord vows to stamp out his neighbours' superstitions and bring the light of the True Faith to the Northmen - at the point of a sword. It will fall to Bjarki, Tor and the men and women of Saxony to resist him in a struggle for the fate of all Europe.

Proudly wears its inspirations on its sleeve, a bit of a historically accurate, winding epic. Plenty of historical detail in there, a bit Lord of the Rings in places with lists and environmental detail. Starts of slow with some good fights small battles and characters, a few nice twists in the middle and at the end! Plenty of good fights to get stuck into.

Conan, but with Pagans and Christians

It is not often that I find a book that I can not put down especially fiction but the last Beserker lit the fire to my curiosity regarding Berserker ritual and tradition, the story was gripping throughout and characters interesting and relatable for myself. Great read I found this book searching for information on berserkers online and what a lucky find. I will be starting the second in the series soon!

Couldn’t put it down
