Norway, AD 785. A wild place, a place of blood, a place where the gods must be favoured . . .

Sigurd Haraldarson and his oathsworn band are winning fame and reputation. But to confront his hated enemy - the oath-breaker and betrayer King Gorm - they must win riches too.

When a daring raid goes wrong, Sigurd finds himself a prisoner of the powerful Jarl Guthrum. Bound like a slave, he is taken to the sacred temple at Ubsola to face the sacrificial knife.

But here Sigurd discovers a potent relic: Gungnir, a great spear that would give him the power to assemble a host strong enough to challenge King Gorm, and avenge the betrayal of his father and the murder of his family.

The roar of Odin and the wild hunt will be as nothing compared to Sigurd´s rage, for he and his warriors will be borne on the wings of the storm . . .

With Wings of the Storm, one of our finest young historical novelists brings his extraordinary Viking saga - an adventure to that is sure to satisfy any ´Game of Thrones´ fan - to a triumphant close.

"A fitting end to a trilogy that fans of Bernard Cornwell should devour. The big set-piece battle that completes the book is one of the best that I have ever read." Antonia Senior THE TIMES

Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling ´Raven´ and ´The Rise of Sigurd´ trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers´ Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith´s No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. In his most recent novel, the Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. For his next book, he continues his epic reimagining of our greatest island ´history´.
Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
