The BRAND NEW instalment in Peter Gibbons' thrilling Saxon Warrior Series!

In the aftermath of the great battle of Maldon, justice is demanded and vengeance will be served!

992AD

King Aethelred’s the Unready’s army has been defeated at the historic Battle of Maldon by Viking invaders led by Olaf Tryggvason and King Sweyn Forkbeard.

The strategic turning point of the battle was when Godric, an East Saxon Thegn, fled the battlefield taking with him the Saxon army, leaving behind his brothers to be massacred in a welter of blood and Norse axe blades.

Saxon warrior Beornoth emerges from the ashes of defeat with his heart aflame with vengeance and when King Aethelred sends for Beornoth with orders to punish those traitors responsible for the crushing defeat, he heeds the king’s call.

With a small band of loyal warriors, Beornoth embarks on an unforgiving journey across the perilous landscape to seek out Godric and exact his bloody revenge. They must fight their way through a world teeming with political intrigue, shifting alliances and the ever-present threat of the Vikings.
Can Beornoth triumph over insurmountable odds in this pulse pounding quest for retribution?

If you enjoyed The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell, you'll love Beornoth’s quest for vengeance!

Praise for the series:

'Epic, brutal action, a flawed hero defending his people while fighting his own demons, implacable ruthless invaders, treacherous nobles, Warrior and Protector has them all'- Matthew Harffy

'Bloody and brutal, everything you want from a novel about 10th century England. Peter's vivid writing really brings the story to life.' - Donovan Cook

'A superbly atmospheric tale of redemption that pitches the English against Viking raiders and resounds with the fierceness of battle-hardened warriors' - MJ Porter

'Thunderously atmospheric! Gibbons once again proves himself a master of Viking & Dark Age lore.' - Gordon Doherty

'Absolutely cracking. The best Viking saga I've read in years. A joy to pick up again.' - Ross Greenwood

A man of pride, a man of honor, a man of braver. A man who is a brother to the sword, a brother of the shield wall, a brother who will bleed with you, a brother who will be there till the end. A man who loves,a man who will cry to all he has lost. A man who will bring VENGEANCE to those who are cowards. Beornoth is that man standing tall an proud who will honor the oath.

The use of “thought cage” in referring to one’s mind or mental capacity was clever the first 50 times it was used, by dear Lord don’t you think it’s cheeky and churlish by know. It’s like using the word “slather” over and over. Woof. But great read! Love this guy.

The story line is focused more on battles, if you want only battles. A disappointment from his other books. Character development is weaker.... Finished the book , but had a few moments when i wanted to just turf.

Picks up well from the last book and follows the plot direction that you would wish after reading the third. Ever so slightly one-dimensional plot wise but well written and a good read.
