Synopsis
For two years Osric has lived a simple life, apprentice to the mute old carpenter who took him in when others would have him cast out. But when Norsemen from across the sea burn his village they also destroy his new life, and Osric finds himself a prisoner of these warriors. Their chief, Sigurd the Lucky, believes the Norns have woven this strange boy's fate together with his own, and Osric begins to sense glorious purpose among this Fellowship of warriors.Immersed in the Norsemen's world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a blood bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven. But the Norsemen's world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood and where a young man must become a killer to survive. When the Fellowship faces annihilation from ealdorman Ealdred of Wessex, Raven chooses a bloody and dangerous path, accepting the mission of raiding deep into hostile lands to steal a holy book from Coenwolf, King of Mercia. There he will find much more than the Holy Gospels of St Jerome. He will find Cynethryth, an English girl with a soul to match his own. And he will find betrayal at the hands of cruel men, some of whom he regarded as friends...

Book Condition, Fine: An unread copy that remains in excellent condition. Light bumps to the corners of the dust jacket, but no major tears or blemishes, cover artwork bright and vibrant. Dj now protected by a plastic slipcover. Original hardcover binding is in mint condition. Slight foxing across the text block, mainly across its top edge, but mostly clean with good page edges. Very light foxing bled into edges of endpapers, but otherwise clean and tidy. Book remains tightly bound. A first edition hardback, collectible as an early printing of a title by Giles Kristian, a bestselling author in historical adventure fiction. First editions in robust condition are preferred by collectors of modern historical series and Viking-era thrillers. Set in a vividly realised Viking Age world, this novel follows fierce battles, shifting allegiances, and the brutal code of honour that governs lives on both land and sea. Kristian combines immersive historical detail with relentless pacing and visceral action, pulling the reader into a landscape of power struggles and personal vendettas. With richly drawn characters and a keen sense of period atmosphere, the book delivers gripping entertainment rooted in its compelling interpretation of Norse warrior culture.
