Raven Marked: Historical Viking Fiction Saga (Norse Family Saga) Kindle Edition

by K.S. Barton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 103 ratings

A forgotten identity. A found family. Scars from the past. A young man comes of age in the turbulent, violent world of the Viking era. To survive, he must trust the ravens.

Called only “dog” by a cruel owner, the boy escapes alone through the mid-winter woods guided by two ravens who lead him to safety. With a strength he does not believe he has, the nameless child chooses a name, finds a family, and begins to heal.

As part of a trading crew, Helgi travels from the far North lands of the Sami to the island of Alba in the West until, as a young man, he arrives in the Great City of Constantinople.

Through much hardship, Helgi grows from boy to man, slave to protector, and from unwanted to beloved. But, no matter how much he is loved or how strong he becomes, Helgi yearns to discover his true identity.

Will the wounds of his past keep him from forging his own future? Or will he transform them into marks of strength?

Book One in the Helgi the Marked duology.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

K.S. Barton writes historical fiction and fantasy stories of love and adventure set in the Viking age. The author of three novels, she explores themes of family, honor, and strength all within the backdrop of Norse society. When doing research on Norse mythology for a teaching project, she discovered the Norse sagas and decided that she wanted to write fiction about Vikings. She believes there is magic in storytelling and enjoys writing about family dynamics, in explorations of love, bravery, betrayal, community, and the complex moral dilemmas that arise out of those issues. Of course, no story of Vikings would be complete without male warriors and fighting, so there is plenty of that in her books, too!

She has an M.A. in Humanities with a focus on literature and history and has always loved to learn about history through stories. She resides in sunny Southern Arizona.

    A very good story done with well researched historical details and a smattering of Norse vocab that brings the past alive.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023

    I really loved this "side quest" book about Helgi. It's wonderful to see his journey from scared, beaten child to being a young man with compassion for the weak, and the skills to protect them. My favorite parts of the book were all the kind people who helped him along the way, his adopted family.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Helgi's story
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022
    Format: Paperback
    I have read the Norse Family Saga, where Helgi is a main characters, so I was intrigued by this book which expounds his upbringing and fight for survival as an escaped slave from age 5. As is the saga, it is well researched and knowledgeably written, so it transported me right into the unforgiving and harsh conditions of the Viking age. Interesting as it is, the plot felt a bit protracted, all the more as the book is only the first of a duet, so IMO it would have benefited from a good tightening or compression into one single book. That being said, a captivating read.

    A fourth "can't put this book down" experience! It was fun and informative to read about our hero, Raven Boy, growing up to young manhood. After four excellent reads from KS Barton, I'm anxious for more! Thank you, from a Norwegian Eriksen!
