Overview
“If you want to sit down with an extremely well-researched tale involving heroic battles, first loves, and the making of a legend, this book is for you.” – The Historical Novel Society.
“For indeed the Frankish nation, which was crushed by the avenger Hasting, was full of filthy uncleanness. Treasonous and oathbreaking, they were justly condemned; unbelievers and faithless, they were justly punished.” — Dudo of St. Quentin, Gesta Normannorum
Orphaned by blood feud and sold into slavery, the boy called Hasting should have perished nameless. Instead, a ship captain named Eilif frees him and awakens something fierce inside him. With his new crew, he will learn the ways of the Vikings and travel to far-off lands, where, as fate would have it, he will meet his first love.
But when that love is stolen from him by his own people, he turns to wrath. Hasting’s search for justice becomes a voyage across pagan and Christian worlds, where questions of faith and culture collide with vengeance, and a darker self begins to rise. With every battle won, the wolf within him grows stronger.
His is the story of a man who was a slave, who became a Viking, and who helped to topple an empire.
Inspired by the true exploits of the warlord Hasting, The Lords of the Wind opens a sweeping saga of transformation: the forging of a Viking warrior, the awakening of his shadow, and the long road toward reclaiming the light he lost.
