Inhaltsangabe

The Untold Saga of a Viking Fortune Hunter

For three decades, Ulf of Borresta carved a path of blood and silver across England. He was no mere warrior - he was a Viking raider who amassed a staggering fortune in Danegeld, the extortion money paid by desperate English monarchs to keep the Norsemen at bay.

In the churchyard of Orkesta, Sweden, two ancient rune stones bear witness to Ulf's legacy. They speak of a man who stood alongside the most feared Viking chieftains, real figures etched into history, plundering towns, burning villages, and battling for wealth and power. The battles Ulf profited from are all named in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles.

But Ulf's story is more than a chronicle of conquest. It is a visceral tale of ambition, survival, and the brutal world of the Viking Age. From the storm-wracked shores of Scandinavia to the blood-soaked fields of England, this novel brings to life the reign of terror that shaped a continent, and the man who profited from it.

Inspired by true events, this gripping historical epic plunges you into the heart of the Viking world, where the price of power was measured in silver and blood.

"One of the best descriptions of Viking life I have read." - reader review

For readers of Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian and Peter Gibbons.
