Book description
We lusted for an even greater prize: one that can never be lost or
stolen or burnt...
Raven and his fellow Vikings have suffered. Good men have died.
Hard-won treasure has been lost. But for these Norsemen, there is
something more precious than gold or silver, and that is fame - for
this is what a warrior leaves behind when he has breathed his last.
And so the brotherhood sail for Constantinople, the city they call
Miklagard. There, it is rumoured, both riches and glory are to be
found, but the journey takes them through unknown and dangerous waters
- from the wind-whipped marshes of the Camargue to the treachery and
faded glory of a once-mighty Rome.
For Raven and the Wolfpack there is a high price to pay for the fame
they seek. Miklagard's streets may seem paved with gold, but they also
run with blood . . .
A brilliant, brutal new chapter in the story of Raven, this
is historical fiction at its most authentic and exciting.
Having Viking ancestors himself,
Giles Kristian
believes that the story of Raven has always been in his blood. Inspired
by both his family history and his storytelling heroes, Bernard Cornwell
and Conn Iggulden, Giles began writing this thrilling tale of an English
boy's coming of age amongst a band of marauding warriors from across the
grey seas.
Raven: Blood Eye
was published to great acclaim and two further adventures have followed.
Giles lives in Leicestershire where he writes full-time. To find out
