Among Sea Wolves
Among Sea Wolves: 1150: The Whale Road | Jean Gill
2 posts | 1 read
????? "A yarn fit for a Norse saga. Full of action, poetry and heart; a thrilling voyage through the vibrant world of the twelfth century." Matthew Harffy 1150: The Whale Road. An epic medieval adventure, set in the Viking world of 12th century Orkney. To change their doom, Skarfr and Hlif must pay the price. Warrior-poet Skarfr embarks on a death-defying pilgrimage with his ruler, Jarl Rognvald, from the wind-whipped shores of Orkney to the Holy Land. He is one of the few men trusted by the Jarl, whether facing sea-monsters or murder. Fifteen ships sail on the whale road in the pilgrims fleet. The only woman among the sea wolves, Hlif is respected as much for her practical skills as for her mystical gifts. Yet beneath her indomitable faade lies a secret she is handfasted to Skarfr, their love forbidden by the Jarls decree. As tensions rise, Skarfr is torn between fealty to his Jarl and devotion to Hlif. One oath must be broken but which one? How can he steer a course between loyalty and love without losing his honour? Book 2 in The Midwinter Dragon series, from an award-winning writer, Among Sea Wolves is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller's mythic storytelling, Bernard Cornwell's gritty realism, and Matthew Harffy's visceral medieval sagas. ????? "Made me want to read on... just one more chapter... and then another, and another. Late into the night!" B A Morton ????? "Top quality literary historical fiction; a cracking story with action and adventure based on real events, plus a touch of magic. Highly recommended." J.G. Harlond

It was great to visit Scarfr and Hlif again and see how they were getting on! I loved my time on the Sun Chaser with them. This is a well written and exciting story. The research which has gone into it is amazing. The characters are well drawn and the plot is skilfully penned. A vivid and atmospheric read with some stunning imagery, I look forward to joining Scarfr and Hlif on their next adventure. #TBC on Facebook

Reading and reviewing for #TBC on Facebook. This is the second in the Midwinter Dragon series. I‘ve read the first one - lots of characters which confused me a little so I will be making notes this time about which Jarl is which! 😐🤔😄
