Inhaltsangabe

Never mock the Valkyrie!Racial rivalries, religious hatreds, and a stolen treasury force Eric Bjornson to risk the lives of his beloved companions as a savage Viking horde of his own kinsmen, led by his best friend, chase him across England to settle a drunken blood-feud. Although kept alive only by lies and trickery, Eric's Christian companions turn against his heathen beliefs and betrayal of innocents, but a powerful Druid Seer forces them to reunite and fight together as the future of three universes are gambled upon the doom of one viking warrior.Tensions never cease as the companions vie for leadership of their company and debate their course through religious turmoils that risk both their lives and their souls. Love triangles abound, spurring jealous rivalries and surprisingly-intimate scenes. The viking era was an age of violence, social upheaval, and religious contention; DeathQuest, Book 1 of The VIKINGS! Trilogy, recreates that forgotten world in fantastic detail.For details, see http://jaypalmerbooks.com.A new world of fantasy arises from the ashes of Norse Mythology. Dragonships, pagan gods of rival divinities, and the fate of three universes are turned upside-down by a stumbling party of saxon renegades fleeing across England with one lone viking and a stolen treasure. Excitement, romance, and danger await in this scholarly and very educational adventure which explores the realities of swords and sorcery, and the religious rivalries of ancient England, like never before. The mind of a true warrior is deeply explored. Eric, a champion fighter, is an uncommon soldier of brutal viking raids, wielding sword and shield in an age where armies clash nose-to-nose on savage battlefields. Eric kills for a living, understands war and strategy, and is determined to die the noblest death of all time by pissing off as many kings and noblemen as he can.The VIKINGS! Trilogy explores Norse culture, ancient religions, and daily existence in England in the Dark Ages. Although many fantasy elements are included, historians will delight in the depth of research and accuracy included in The VIKINGS! Trilogy. The coarse nature of medieval life is described in amazing detail, and the numerous obscure cultural references will be recognized only by scholars. While non-scholars will delight to the complex exploration of Norse mythology, these books are certain to shine a spotlight on aspects of important historical research unknown by most of the modern world.
