About the book: 2006 / One of the most acute periods in the history of Norway is the war for the inheritance of Harald Fairhair, the king who united Norway into a single state. The war was between his two sons: his father’s favorite Eric Bloodaxe and Hakon, who grew up in a foreign land, a pupil of Adalstein of England. Many Vikings, dissatisfied with the tyranny of Eric Bloodaxe, went into exile, taking with them the hope of returning in the future and taking revenge. Among them is Orm, son of Rognvald and Hildrid Ravenwing. Whose side will he take?.....The amazing unpredictable world of the Vikings will open up before you - a world where people live who are unable to die until they fulfill their destiny, where they die in a desperate battle with a smile on their lips. The land is mysterious, alien, and at the same time immediately and forever enchanting with its wild, pagan beauty.
