Summary
History and legend combine in the gripping tale of Hakon Haraldsson, a Christian boy who once fought for the High Seat of a Viking realm.
It is 935 A.D., and the North is in turmoil. King Harald Fairhair has died, leaving the High Seat of the realm to his murderous son, Erik Bloodaxe. To solidify his claim, Erik ruthlessly disposes of all claimants to his throne, save one: his youngest brother Hakon.
Erik's surviving enemies send a ship to Wessex, where the Christian King Athelstan is raising Hakon. Unable to avoid his fate, he returns to the Viking North to face his brother and claim his birthright, only to discover that victory will demand sacrifices beyond his wildest nightmares.

Not liking the narration
I have just read forged in iron and sigurd's swords and absolutely loved them. I thought I'd give these a go too but I'm really struggling with the narration (chapter 2) this title isn't available on kindle.
He reads with an odd flow maybe he's trying to emulate an oral style to add authenticity but the unnecessary emphasis on unimportant words is just distracting.

Narrator kills the story for me!
I simply couldn't finish this book, and barely got through 50mins of it. The narrator (as mentioned in lots of other reviews) needlessly elevates his voice every three or so words, and at the end of each sentence making it sound like he's telling a child's fairytale or poem. This is unbearable annoying especially when trying to imagine a fight scene he is reading ! Wrong narrator for this story/genre. I'll read the book on my Kindle instead!

Badly conceived plot
It started with such promise and had the potential to be an ok book, but the plot just got weaker and weaker as the story went on. I got to point where I gave up.
