Synopsis
Norway, AD 785: a vow of vengeance must be kept . . . Sigurd Haraldarson has proved himself a great warrior . . . and a dangerous enemy. He has gone a long way towards avenging the murder of his family. And yet the oath-breaker King Gorm, who betrayed Sigurd’s father, still lives. And so long as he draws breath, the scales remain unbalanced. The sacred vow to avenge his family burns in Sigurd’s veins, but he must be patient and bide his time. He knows that he and his band of warriors are not yet strong enough to confront the treacherous king. They need silver, they need more spear-brothers to rally to the young Viking’s banner—but more than these, they need to win fame upon the battlefield. And so the fellowship venture west, to Sweden, to fight as mercenaries. And it is there—in the face of betrayal and bloodshed, on a journey that will take him all too close to the halls of Valhalla—that Sigurd’s destiny will be forged. There, in the inferno of winter’s fire . . . The Vikings return in this thrilling, thunderous sequel to Giles Kristian’s God of Vengeance.

Review
"Storm-blown, salt-flecked and gore-spattered, Winter’s Fire is a belter of a novel. It’s just what I have come to expect from the master storyteller, Giles Kristian, whose books throw the reader headlong into the Viking age . . . this is a stirring tale of comradeship, bloodshed and treachery. It’s perfect for fans of historical fiction and fantasy alike, from Cornwell to Abercrombie." —Ben Kane, author, Eagles at War
"Wild as the waves, savage as a wolf pack in full flight, this is Viking writing at its best. bloody and savage and glorious, this tale of courage and cunning, of vengeance and of lives touched by the Gods is all we could possibly ask for from a historical novel: perfect." —Manda Scott, author, Dreaming the Eagle
"Riveting . . . Winter's Fire has all Giles Kristian's trademark swagger and poetry." —Times
"There are authors whose work I take the time to savour. Ben Kane for gritty, brutal history. Christian Cameron for the lyrical essence of men at war. Joe Abercrombie for grim, scarred characters with no choice except to fight and die. Giles Kristian’s Winter's Fire combined all three, but blended with a panache that made the pages fly by in a single sitting. More!" —Anthony Riches, author, Thunder of the Gods

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition First Printing. 310 Pages. No defects noted to this tight, bright book with flawless interior text pages. The Vikings return in this thrilling, heart-in-mouth sequel to God of Vengeance, acclaimed as a novel of unrelenting pace, brilliant action and characters. Set in 8th century Norway, this book continues the story of Sigurd and his blood-feud against those who betrayed and killed his family. Sigurd has proved himself as a warrior. Despite his youth he has shown cunning, courage, ruthlessness and audacity; all the qualities required of a jarl and leader. Having taken on and beaten the formidable Jarl Randver, he has gone a long way to avenging his family and establishing his fame. And yet his vengeance is not complete, for the oath-breaker King Gorm, who betrayed Sigurd's father, still lives. And so long as the king draws breath, the scales remain unbalanced. But Sigurd has lost good men and his band is reduced to a mere handful of loyal companions, oath-tied warriors who would follow him to Valhalla itself. And indeed it might, for how can this few hope to beat a king? Folk whisper all this and more, and King Gorm in his fortress perched on the hill at Avaldsnes cannot stop such thoughts gnawing at his mind. Some say the king should strike now while Sigurd is weak. that is if he can find the young man. For it is no small thing to have an Óðin-favoured killer for an enemy, and the king begins to fear that in betraying Sigurd's father he may have turned the gods against him and cursed his own wyrd. Either way, Sigurd's course is set. He will lead his war host against King Gorm in an epic fight to the death: shield-walls will clash and the spear din will shake the timbers of Valhalla itself. For when storms rip the sky men know it is Óðin the Wild Huntsman, calling away the souls of the dead. So Sigurd's coming to Avaldsnes is a presage of death. His bloodlust is like the Spear God's passing. And his revenge will be but the Wings of the Storm. Seller Inventory # 18365
