An account of the explorations of Eric the Red and his son, Leif Ericson, in the New World, 500 years before Columbus.
He's the son of a chieftain and a princess--yet Halfdan was born a slave. Now he is becoming a man and it is time for him to meet his destiny. Though raised a slave who could only dream of freedom, young Halfdan's fate may be about to change. If freed, he may train as a Viking warrior, and come to know the glories of true brotherhood and the horrors of unspeakable evil. In the world of Vikings, a warrior's destiny is forged in the heat of battle. If the fates decree it, Hafdan may emerge as a new hero . . . a new myth . . . and perhaps a new legend.

A history of Britain in the violent and unruly era between the first Scandinavian raids in 789 and the final expulsion of the Vikings from York in 954. In 865, a great Viking army landed in East Anglia, precipitating a series of wars that would last until the middle of the following century. It was in this time of crisis that the modern kingdoms of Britain were born. In their responses to the Viking threat, these kingdoms forged their identities as hybrid cultures: vibrant and entrepreneurial peoples adapting to instability and opportunity. Traditionally, Alfred the Great is cast as the central player in the story of Viking Age Britain. But Max Adams, while stressing the genius of Alfred as war leader, law-giver, and forger of the English nation, has a more nuanced narrative approach to this conventional version of history. The Britain encountered by the Scandinavians of the ninth and tenth centuries was one of regional diversity and self-conscious cultural identities, depicted in glorious narrative fashion in The Viking Wars.
An authoritative volume that places the Vikings in their wider geographical and historical context.
“I don’t want to live a life of servitude controlled by my husband.” Rosamund, forced into a political marriage by her father, faked her own kidnapping in order to escape. The man sent after her—a golden-haired, blue-eyed giant named Agravar, a fearsome Viking known for his unparalleled strength and cruelty—takes her back to the castle where he lives. Always looking for another chance to escape, Rosamund unexpectedly finds herself drawn in by his bright smile, his big, warm arms and his lonely soul. Could she be falling for her captor?
