"Do you al like this series? I’ve picked up some of the books second hand, I’m not a huge Viking person though."

"From the moment you open the cover, you will find yourself in the middle of the 9th century with the threat of a Viking Raid. With the characters and atmosphere being so well written that you will soon feel as though you are right there on the battlefield with them. "
