Summary
Sigurd Haraldarson has proven himself a great Viking warrior and a dangerous enemy. He has gone a long way towards avenging the murder of his family. Yet his vengeance is not complete. The oath breaker King Gorm - who betrayed Sigurd's father - still lives, and, so long as the king draws breath, the scales remain unbalanced.
But Sigurd and his wolf pack of warriors are not at full strength, and to confront the king now would mean death. And so they sail west to Sweden, where a local warlord employs them as mercenaries, but in a brutal siege Sigurd, Floki and Valgerd are taken by the enemy, their fate to be sacrificed in return for the gods' favour. Escaping the priest's knife at the last moment, they steal a sacred treasure: Gungnir, the legendary spear of Odin.
The journey Sigurd and his colleagues are destined to take is punctuated by blood and betrayal. Uneasy alliances are made; silver, fame-lust and the Odin spear draw men to Sigurd's banner until he commands a war host of his own. It is time to return to Norway to face the oath breaker. When storms rip the sky, men say that it is Odin, the Wild Huntsman, summoning the souls of the dead. And Sigurd's course is set.
His return to his homeland foretells death. He will lead his warriors against King Gorm in an epic fight to the death, and the clash of ax and sword and shield will shake the timbers of Valhalla itself, for Sigurd's bloodlust is like the Spear God's passing, and his revenge will be the Wings of the Storm....

Great 2nd instalment
Once again Odin blessed Sigurd Haraldson and his band of miscreants take up their oars in a stirring Viking saga. Great characters, immaculate research and wonderful writing. Can’t wait for the 3rd instalment.

Vikings brought to life
Winter's fire carries in the tale superbly. I have listened / read a few in this genre & Giles Christian's books have so far been my favourites.
Excellent characters & a quite wonderful tale brought to life excellently by Philip Stevens.
I steamed through this audiobook. Always the sign of being riveted. I really look forward to part III.
Highly recommended.

Loved it.
Very good second book of the series, looking forward to number 3.
Narrator needs to add a bit of emotion to his voice though.

An enjoyable, well organized and researched story.
Clear, well articulated reading By Phillip Stevens. I could not ask for more in a performance. No mumbling, awful pronunciation, cheesy character voices or HIGH, lo, HIGH, lo volume roller coaster. Good job.
Giles Kristian storyline is a solid and traditional Vengeance Saga. To this he has added some nice personalities, none of whom are ridiculous or boilerplate. Female presence is developing nicely in part 2 and is more than "quivering loins".
The use of historical references is nice and as always appreciated in historical fiction.
I will be reading part 3.
