God of Vengeance

A magnificent and brutal Viking epic of honor, bravery, blood feuds, and vengeance by Sunday Times bestselling author Giles Kristian, known for Lancelot. Ideal for admirers of Bernard Cornwell and Game of Thrones. "Relentless pace, stunning action, and memorable characters. A true masterpiece." – CONN IGGULDEN "Thrilling storytelling that excites and moves the soul." – WILBUR SMITH "One of the finest books I've ever enjoyed." – ***** Reader review. It all started with a lord’s betrayal by a king... Norway, 785 AD. After King Gorm exterminates Jarl Harald’s family, he makes a critical error—he spares Harald’s youngest son, Sigurd. With his family killed, village taken, and loved ones enslaved, Sigurd wonders if the gods have abandoned him. Hunted and uncertain whom to trust, he still commands a small loyal band. Supported by Odin, the All-Father, Sigurd vows to make a king answer for his treachery. Gathering fierce warriors—his father’s loyal Olaf, the mighty Bram, deadly Black Floki, and fearless shield-maiden Valgerd—Sigurd rallies them to follow him into battle.
