Iceland, AD 935: A young man is destined to be a warrior, how much longer can he fight his fate? ' FAST-PACED, DETAILED AND BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN [FOR] FANS OF BERNARD CORNWELL, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN AND THEODORE BRUN' HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY. Einar Unnsson will be a great warrior, whether he wants it or not. AD 935 - Late Winter, City of Jorvik. Einar Unnsson is destined to be a great Icelandic warrior. He has already defeated the men sent to kill him by his notorious father, Jarl Thorfinn, the ' Skull Cleaver' of Orkney. He has a gift that makes him lethal in battle. Yet he has cast it all off to be a bard. When three men attack him, Einar' s poetry provides little protection. Luckily, the skilled archer and Norse-Irish princess Affreca saves him. She' d assumed Einar had left to raise an army, challenge Thorfinn and seize the Jarldom of Orkney. Now she' s determined to set him back onto his rightful path. Einar soon finds himself entangled on Affreca' s own mission. She' s seeking the Raven Banner for King Eirik. Legend has it that the banner is imbued with powerful magic. That it was a gift from the Norse God Odin and any army that marches behind it will be victorious. The quest sets events in motion that are beyond Einar' s control. Einar has no choice but to face his fate and swing his sword once more. . .
