Jomsviking

The year is 993. During an attack in the east of Viken, young Torstein sees his father killed in a terrible way. Meanwhile, he is taken away as a slave. Peace is threatened in Norway. Olav Tryggvason wants to gain power in the country and make Christ the new god. With an in-depth knowledge of the period and a keen eye for detail, the author brings us close to Torstein Tormodson, who will experience the toils of slavery and a life of turbulence before emerging as a feared warrior and mercenary. Along the way, his destiny becomes intertwined with that of Olav Tryggvason’s.

Jomsviking is a sweeping tale from some dramatic years in Norwegian history, featuring depictions of legendary events such as the Battle of Svolder and the murder of Håkon Jarl by Kark the slave. Jomsviking is the first book in a series which follows the life of Torstein Tormodson, a man who, against all odds, rises up against the king’s power and tyranny.
