Snorri Kristjansson

For Ulfar Thormodsson, the Viking town of Stenvik is the last stop on a two-year-long journey, before he goes home. But for other, larger powers, Stenvik is about to become the meeting ground in a great war: one that will see a clash of the old gods versus the new White Christ. One that will see blood wash the land. As Ulfar becomes ever-more involved in the politics of the town, and prepares to meet these armies in a battle for Stenvik's freedom, he Is about to learn that not all his enemies stand outside the walls.

'For Vikings done right, come to Snorri Kristjansson' - Mark Lawrence 'Truly entertaining' - Yrsa Sigur?ardóttir 'A dark mystery in a dark age brought vividly to life' - Robert Fabbri Everyone loves a family reunion. 970: For the first time since Helga was adopted, her family will be gathered in one place. But her siblings are coming with darkness in their hearts. Everyone knows their father, the Viking warlord Unnthor Reginsson, has a great chest of gold hidden somewhere on his land - and each of his heirs is determined to find it. Then one morning Helga is awakened by screams. Blood has been shed. Kin has been slain. All the clues point to one person - who cannot possibly be the murderer, at least in Helga's eyes. But if she's going to save an innocent from the axe, she's got to solve the mystery - fast . . . Lies. Manipulation. Murder. There's nothing quite like family . . .

Starburst magazine called Snorri Kristjansson's Swords of Good Men--the first volume in the Valhalla Saga--"A cracking yarn (one that would make a great movie), filled with enough to satisfy any fan of Vikings and their mythology." Now this raucous and gripping fantasy adventure set in Viking Norway continues with Blood Will Follow, where plundering and pillaging are a way of life and creature comforts rarely exceed a mug of sour mead. Ulfar Thormodsson and Audun Arngrimsson are battered, having barely survived the battle for Stenvik, waged between King Olav and the followers of the White Christ, and those whose allegiance remains to the gods of the Norse pantheon. Alas, the two Vikings' encounter with a mysterious witch just before escaping the town over the city's walls have left them without the one thing that made them human: their mortality. While Ulfar heads home to Sweden, hoping to find a safe haven where he can come to grips with his newfound inability to die, Audun travels by foot to the south, searching for answers on the open road. But both men are about to discover that they cannot run from their destiny. King Olav has left the conquered town of Stenvik in the hands of his lieutenant so he can journey north, following the advice of the scheming healer Valgard, to hunt for the source of the Vikings' power. Soon, Ulfar and Audun will realize they have important roles to play in the battle for supremacy between those seeking to spread the gospel of the White Christ and those who keep to the old ways of Odin, Thor, and Loki.

Council

Ulfar Thormodsson számára Stenvik városa az utolsó megálló egy kétéves utazás során, mielőtt hazatérhetne száműzetéséből. Más, nagyobb erők számára azonban Stenvik lesz egy nagy háború végső csatatere: a nagy háborúé, amelyben a régi istenek csapnak össze az új Fehér Krisztussal. A nagy háborúé, amely vértengerré változtatja a földet. A tenger felől ismeretlen, sötét ellenség közeledik, sorra égetve fel a szigetek és a partvidék keresztény templomait, kolostorait és falvait. A szárazföld felől a Fehér Krisztus hitét hirdető király, Olav Tryggvason tör előre egyre növekvő seregével. A Stenvik körüli erdőkben az otthonaikat elvesztett nincstelenek bosszúra és vérre szomjazva gyülekeznek. Sigurd Aegisson, az egykori legendás viking portyázó, Stenvik főnöke nem akar mást, csak békésen kereskedni virágzó városából. Azonban neki is be kell látnia, hogy a közelgő véres összecsapásban vagy valamelyik fél oldalára áll, vagy azt kockáztatja, hogy mindent elveszít, amit az elmúlt évtizedekben felépített...

A végzet kardjai

Audun hajdan kovács volt. Ulfar egy király rokona. Az ostrom alá vett Stenvik városában találkoztak, miközben Olav király a Fehér Krisztus hitét terjesztette a Régi Istenek földjén. A Régi Istenek azonban nem mondtak még le a népükről. Audun és Ulfar megpróbálta elkerülni a sorsát, de sikertelenül. Újra találkoztak, és mindketten új célt találtak – csakhogy a Fehér Krisztus szolgái erős ellenfélnek bizonyultak. Ha sikerre akarják vinni az ügyüket, nekik is hasonlóan erős szövetségeseket kell találniuk. Trondheimben – megfogyatkozott seregével és a követelőző helyi törzsfőkkel körülvéve, akik csak rosszat kívánnak neki – Olav király rájön, hogy a béke fenntartása sokkal jobban próbára teszi a hitét, mint a háború megnyerése. És mindeközben messze északon életre kel valami nagyon ősi, nagyon gonosz és nagyon haragos dolog.

The Valhalla Saga, Snorri Kristjansson's epic historical fantasy series, is perfect for fans of Vikings and The Last Kingdom. As punishment for disgracing his father, Ulfar Thormodsson has spent two bitterly uncomfortable years on the road, tasked with taking his highborn cousin Geiri on a tour of the kingdom. Now his journey is almost at an end - the walled town of Stenvik will be their final stop. But Stenvik will soon become the battleground in a deadly war between the old gods and the new: King Olav is bringing the White Christ to the masses at point of sword and edge of blade, while a Viking horde led by a mysterious woman is sailing from the north.
