Bargain alert: Blood of the Bear is now just 99p

The fifth and final novel in my acclaimed and Amazon-bestselling Fire Born series is now on special offer for a limited time. This gripping, battle-torn saga of Bjarki Bloodhand and Tor Hildarsdottir, two would-be Viking berserkers, reaches its bloody climax at the Battle of the Süntel Hills in Saxony. And, for a short while, Blood of the Bear is just 99p for the Kindle version! Fill those Viking sea boots!

If you want to know a bit more, this is the blurb from there back of the paperback:

Battle calls the berserker once again…

AD 781. Pagan Saxony groans under the Christian yoke. The invincible armies of Karolus, King of the Franks, occupy all this freedom-loving land and every Saxon must submit to baptism and pay tithes to the Church, or face death by beheading.

Duke Widukind, leader of the Saxon rebels, is sheltering in the North, beyond Karolus’s reach. He hopes to persuade Bjarki Bloodhand – once a famous berserker, but now a loving father and family man – and his fierce sister the shield-maiden Tor, to join his revolt against tyranny.

But Bjarki has eloped with Widukind’s sister Edith, who was betrothed to Abbio the Crow. In revenge, Abbio uses seithr to strike at Bjarki – a powerful spell to drive him insane. Can Bjarki resist the long slide into madness? And will Widukind finally liberate Saxony from the Franks?

Blood of the Bear is available as an eBook, paperback and audio book (only the eBook is 99p!) from Amazon.
