Summary

'We live as men - but fight as gods.'

Born on the gallows, the corpse of his mother swinging from the rope above, the villagers brand him The Bane of the North and leave him out for the Fug to claim - a deadly fog ruled by Draugr - Viking warriors that had long ago fallen in battle. They didn’t expect to find him the next day, tattooed with the mark of an ancient god.

Fifteen winters later - ridiculed, scorned; but never broken, Bane forges a life as a forager, surviving between Castle Garik and a looming mountain that legend says contains the body of a Norse god. In a strange twist of fates Bane discovers that the mark gives him abilities beyond that of mortal man, and along with his lineage and a blood link to the god, his journey unfolds, fraught with danger and purpose.

As the drums of war close in, and the time of men comes to an end, Bane could be the North’s only hope.

Fantastic Fantasy

I had already read the paper back version of Gallows Born and was so excited to get it as an Audiobook. Scott Fleming’s voiceover is magical and really brings the book to life. I cannot wait for future Audiobooks from A C Salter. Superb alternative to allow me to be lost in this fantastic fantasy series on the go and in the car to work. Keep them coming please
