12086 KRISTIAN, GILES Odin's Wolves The Third Raven adventure. . 560 p. , map 2012 SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperb. that has been read, but remains in clean condition. GOOD) Packed with battles, blood and thrilling adventure, the third blood-stirring chapter in the story of Raven and his fellow Viking warriors is historical fiction at its very best. We lusted for an even greater prize... It is the one prize that can never be lost or stolen or burnt. And we would find it in Miklagard... Raven and the Wolfpack have suffered. Good men have died and the treasures they fought so hard for have been lost. But to such men as these there is something more valuable than silver. That thing is fame -- for fame is the saga-story that a Viking warrior leaves behind when he dies. Now the sea road leads to Constantinople, which Norsemen call Miklagard, the Great City, for it is there that they might find both riches and glory. But the Great City is far away and the voyage there takes the Fellowship in to unknown waters where they face new enemies. From the wind-whipped marshes of the Carmargue to the crumbling walls and arenas of a decaying Rome, Raven must fight harder for his life than ever before. He must prove himself to others -- and he must watch his back too, for an old enemy is sharpening his treacherous claws. The young warrior with the blood-tainted eye will even challenge the Norns of fate who, it is said, have spun his doom. But the Valkyries are stalking, eager for new heroes to take to Ódin's hall. The clash of sword and axe and spear will ring out in Miklagard and the Fellowship will pay a high price in blood for the fame they seek.

12085 KRISTIAN, GILES God of Vengeance First ed.. . 411 p. , map 2014 BANTAM PRESS, SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperb. that has been read, but remains in clean condition. GOOD) RARE and SOUGHT AFTER EDITION. The author of the bestselling Raven saga returns to recount the early days of Sigurd and his Fellowship in a thrilling Viking tale of honour, courage, bloodfeud and revenge. Norway AD785. A land of petty kingdoms and ambitious men.. When King Gorm betrays Jarl Harald and puts his family to the sword, he makes a terrible mistake. He fails to kill Harald 's youngest son, Sigurd. Hunted by powerful men and hiding in a sacred fen, Sigurd believes the gods have turned their backs on his family. His kin are dead or captured. His village is attacked and its people taken as slaves. Honour is lost. Yet all men know that Ódin, whose name means frenzy, is drawn to chaos and bloodshed as a raven is to the slaughtered dead -- and Sigurd means to spill blood. Alone but for a small band of loyal men including his red-bearded friend Svein, his father s right-hand man Olaf, and Asgot the godi, Sigurd hungers to avenge the murder of his family. In an attempt to catch Ódin 's eye, the young man sacrifices himself -- as the god once did -- and it is during this ritual ordeal that Sigurd is shown a vision. The Wolf. The Bear. The Serpent. The Eagle. Sigurd will need all these and more if he is to become a man whom others will follow... and if he is to make kings pay in blood for their treachery. But the gods have spoken and Sigurd s quest begins. Using cunning and war-craft he must gather the fiercest warriors of the north -- warriors such as Bram who men call Bear, Black Floki who is death with a blade, and the shield Maiden Valgerd, who brave men fear -- and convince them to follow him. For whether or not Ódin is with him, Sigurd will have his vengeance and neither men nor the gods can stand in his way. Be assured that when the blood is flowing, the gods are watching.
