Critics Review
“A powerful, lightning-paced tale of the Norsemen in England; an astonishing and riveting debut.” - Bernard Cornwell
A gripping, bloody narrative. * BBC History magazine *
A powerful, lightning-paced tale of the Norsemen in England; an astonishing and riveting debut – Bernard Cornwell
An unabashed carnival of bloodletting, betrayal and rough sex…Kristian has a knack for writing real blokes living their lives * Daily Telegraph *
Plenty of interest for fans of Norse tales, with battles galore and the promise of more to come * Daily Mail *
A gripping tale of action and treachery which splendidly conjures up the sounds, sights and smells of Dark Age Britain. It creates a believable world of men fighting, feasting and braving the sea, a time when the Christian and Norse gods were very real and very close in the thoughts of mankind. It leaves the reader keen for the sequel – Harry Sidebottom, author of Warrior of Rome
Kristian’s first novel is a rip-roaring viking saga…Raven is a complex, engaging hero, trying to carve a path through a world that is satisfyingly confusing while still retaining the bedrock of all good sagas: a woman to fight for, a church treasure and a duplicitous priest. Fine, powerful, thrilling stuff! – Manda Scott
About The Author
Giles Kristian
Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling ‘Raven’ and ‘The Rise of Sigurd’ trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers’ Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith’s No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. His contemporary survival thriller, Where Blood Runs Cold, won the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His epic reimagining of our greatest island ‘history’ continued in Camelot and draws to a breath-taking close with Arthur. Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
