About this listen

If you like Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, and David Gemmell, you will love this Viking adventure saga packed with battles, vengeance, blood, and gore.

878 AD, Norway. The fight to secure Harald Fairhair’s throne is over, but one last battle sends a crew of Viking Warriors on a desperate, blood-soaked quest.

Hundr, a Northman with a dog's name...a crew of battle hardened warriors...and a voyage that will determine the fate of Ragnarok itself.

The crew of the warship Seaworm sail the Whale Road across Viking Europe in search of a spear said to have been forged for Odin himself. Ragnhild, Hundr’s sword-sister and Valkyrie Priestess, must recover the mythical weapon if she is to be restored to her order. The Burned Man stands in their way, a vicious warlord bent on vengeance who will stop at nothing to kill Hundr and his old friend Einar the Brawler.

Hundr must join the war for King Alfred’s nascent Kingdom of England and venture home, to the great city of Novgorod. Can he survive brutal attacks and vicious shield wall battles in this fast paced adventure with striking characters and bloodthirsty action?

Valkyrie Rising continues the unmissable Viking historical fiction saga series which began with award-winning author Peter Gibbons' debut novel Viking Blood and Blade.

Great story, but they changed the reader from the previous four books. I accept sometimes this is unavoidable, what is unacceptable is that the new narrator pronounces key words and names differently to the first four books. They should have chosen someone who was prepared to invest the time in listening to at least one previous book to understand how the characters names and Norse words had been previously presented. Very sloppy.

Changed the narrator and it’s not good.

Brilliant series butchered by the actor reading the story who has no idea what Viking language is or how to pronounce lots of really important terms and names. I hope he is not doing the next one.

Awful pronunciation, awful accents.
