Sworn to honour. Broken by betrayal. Hakan, son of Haldan, chosen son of the Lord of the Northern Jutes, swears loyalty to his father in fire, in iron, and in blood. But there are always shadows that roam. When a terrible tragedy befalls Hakan's household he is forced to leave his world behind. He must seek to pledge his sword to a new king. Nameless and alone, he embarks on a journey to escape the bonds of his past and fulfil his destiny as a great warrior. Whispers of sinister forces in the north pull Hakan onwards to a kingdom plagued by mysterious and gruesome deaths. But does he have the strength to do battle with such dark foes? Or is death the only sane thing to seek in this world of blood and broken oaths? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Then the tone of the writing changed.
After the protagonist left his homeland, the book got manly. Of course I read Viking-themed books because they tap in to my masculinity. Why else do guys read books about knights, Vikings, and Crusaders?!
Thereafter I became engrossed. I was keen to move quickly from page to page as fighting scenes seemed realistic along with the Norse obsession with swords and tools of war. I thoroughly like the talk of honour and oaths. My soul is nourished by the bedrock values of Norse culture.
The author also did a splendid job of capturing the "otherworlds." I will not give examples as I am attempting not to provide spoilers. I read other materials about Norse culture and religion and Mr. Brun surely brought those beliefs and practices to life in this book. Now I am beginning the sequel to this one: A SACRED STORM ( )
