"A powerful, lightning-paced tale of the Norsemen in England; an astonishing and riveting debut."

. HTML:

A Viking adventure, packed with battles, blood and gore, Raven is historical fiction at its very best, and marks the debut of an outstanding new talent.

For two years Osric has lived a simple life, apprenticed to the mute old carpenter who took him in when others spurned him. But when Norsemen from across the sea burn his village, Osric is taken prisoner by these warriors. Their chief, Sigurd the Lucky, believes the Norns have woven this strange boy's fate together with his own, and Osric begins to sense glorious purpose among this fellowship of warriors.

Immersed in the Norsemen's world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a blood bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven. But the Norsemen's world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood and where a young man must become a killer in order to survive. When the Fellowship faces annihilation from ealdorman Ealdred of Wessex, Raven chooses a bloody and dangerous path, accepting the mission of raiding deep into hostile lands to steal a holy book from Coenwolf, King of Mercia.
There he will find much more than the Holy Gospels of St Jerome. He will find Cynethryth, an English girl with a soul to match his own. And he will find betrayal at the hands of cruel men, some of whom he regards as friends.

From the Trade Paperback edition.

Durante dos años, Osric ha llevado una existencia sencilla. Temido y rechazado por los habitantes de Abbotsend debido a su misterioso pasado y a su ojo del color de la sangre, ha crecido como aprendiz del viejo carpintero mudo que lo tomó bajo su protección después de que todos le diesen la espalda. Pero cuando llegan, de allende los mares, los invasores nórdicos para saquear la aldea, Osric es tomado prisionero y ve destruída así su nueva vida. El jefe de los vikingos, Sigurd el Afortunado, cree que las nornas han entrelazado el destino de este niño con el suyo. Inmerso en el mundo de los nórdicos y llevado por un insaciable deseo de aventuras, Osric se revela como un guerrero naural y crea un vínculo de sangre con Sigurd, quien lo bautiza Raven.

A well written and brilliantly imagined story. The plot was easy to follow and engaging from start to finish, and the characters were amazingly fleshed out with flaws with the good, the bad and the ugly that really makes a character come to life.
It wasn't perfect, but it was a good read nonetheless. ( )

A good solid Viking tale. Not as a deep on the history as, say, a Bernard Cornwell novel, or as powerfully mythic as, say, Poul Anderson's Hrolf Kraki's Saga, but very solid. Doesn't shy away from the harshness and cruelty of the Vikings, but a good adventure tale that paints an honest picture of them. ( )

If you're looking for a light action-packed read I would definitely recommend this novel. But probably not if you're wanting something more involved. It was interesting enough for me to keep reading, but never really got me hooked. ( )
