Valkyrie Rising : Book Five in the Viking Blood and Blade Saga

If you like Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell you will love this Viking adventure saga packed with battles, vengeance, blood and gore.

878 AD, Norway. The fight to secure Harald Fairhair’s throne is over, but one last battle sends a crew of Viking Warriors on a desperate, bloodsoaked quest.

Hundr, a Northman with a dog’s name… a crew of battle hardened warriors… and a voyage that will determine the fate of Ragnarok itself.

The crew of the warship Seaworm sail the Whale Road across Viking Europe in search of a spear said to have been forged for Odin himself. Ragnhild, Hundr’s sword-sister and Valkyrie Priestess, must recover the mythical weapon if she is to be restored to her order. The Burned Man stands in their way, a vicious warlord bent on vengeance who will stop at nothing to kill Hundr and his old friend Einar the Brawler.

Hundr must join the war for King Alfred’s nascent Kingdom of England and venture home, to the great city of Novgorod. Can he survive brutal attacks and vicious shield wall battles in this fast paced adventure with striking characters and bloodthirsty action?

Valkyrie Rising continues the unmissable Viking historical fiction saga series which began with Award Winning Author Peter Gibbons’ debut novel Viking Blood and Blade.

Treasures Of Norse Mythology: An Interesting Guide To Viking Mythology, Gods And Heroes With Folk Tales Of Endless Conquests (Relive The North As It Was A Thousand Years Ago)

Open Your Norse Treasure Box!

Enter a world where gods and goddesses mingle with the supernatural beings of the Asgard and Jotunheim, where heroes fight epic battles and monsters are thwarted; where legendary tales are told with an eye toward eternal glory—the treasure that is Norse mythology is an undeniable pleasure to read. Explore another world of medieval times, never to be forgotten.

The motifs of Norse legends are similar to that of many other mythologies: Magic is a handy way to explain the extraordinary; heroes are larger-than-life, with superhuman strength and wisdom to spare; gods are tricky and should be approached with caution; harrowing journeys are undertaken; battles are fought and champions are forged. The Norse were the victims of internecine battles and foreign conquests, yet their legacy survives with a long-standing oral tradition that, eventually, was written down. We can see the Norse evolution from settled farmers to raiding Vikings to Christian converts through the thread of their treasure trove of myths and tales.

This book can take you through that journey, beginning with an overview of the Norse peoples and cultures, and into an understanding of their pantheon of gods and goddesses, their amazing tales of adventure and restless search for meaning, and a glimpse into who they actually were via the stories they held dear. Some specific elements you will encounter:

Some of the main gods of the Norse pantheon, with all their quirks and foiblesThe mystery of the Nine Worlds, including Asgard and ValhallaThe wily ways in which Norse myths weave moral lessons throughoutThe greatest hero, Thor, and the greatest trickster, Loki, in all of Norse mythThe story of Beowulf—the greatest literary hero to emerge out of ScandinaviaTales of the race of giants—the devourers—who spread chaos and destructionThe twisted tale of the Mead of Suttungr, the inspiration for poetsThe original version of Ragnarok—end of the universeProfiles of trolls and Valkyries, elves and dwarves—the supernatural population of Norse mythologyThe relationship between Midgard and the godsA glimpse into the myriad ways that Norse culture and its mythology still yet influence our world today

Norse mythology is diverse and fascinating, offering us an insight into how ancient people believed and lived, what they valued and vilified, and how they lived and thrived. If you have enjoyed these treasured tales of Norse mythology, don’t forget to explore the other fantastic realms of mythological magic in this series of books: Treasures of Egyptian Mythology, Treasures of Celtic Mythology, Treasures of Roman Mythology, and Treasures of Greek Mythology. You will find yourself in awe of the sweeping scope of history and culture represented by these mythological traditions, as well as gain a better understanding of how we continually make and re-make these myths for our own times. That’s the fabulous thing about myths: They never truly die.

The Saga of the Volsungs: and the Yarn of Norna-Gest (Viking Legendary Sagas Book 1)

The Saga of the Volsungs was written in thirteenth century Iceland, part of a vast collection of prose stories known as the sagas. In itself, it is the product of hundreds of years of oral storytelling, and the same stories appear in the poems of the Elder Edda, another work of medieval Iceland, and also in the medieval Austrian epic poem, the Nibelungenlied, where the central character is known as Sifrid rather than Sigurd. Characters in the saga are also alluded to in the Old English poem Beowulf and they appear in Viking Age sculpture both in Scandinavia itself and also the British Isles.The saga tells the story of a legendary family known as Volsungs, descended from the Norse god Odin, covering several generations, up until Sigurd, who slew Fafnir the Dragon and took the creature’s cursed treasure, resulting not only in his death but that of everyone who owns it after him. The story, in its various versions, became popular once more in the nineteenth century. It has inspired, directly or indirectly, writers such as William Morris and JRR Tolkien, filmmakers Fritz Lang and George Lucas, and composers and musicians from Richard Wagner, (whose Ring Cycle is the best known modern adaptation of the story), to Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction.*Now also includes The Tale of Norna-Gest.*
