Overview
Before he became a legend, Hasting was a slave.
Orphaned by a blood feud and sold into bondage, the boy called Hasting should have vanished into history. Instead, he survives. When a ship captain named Eilif frees him, Hasting is drawn into the harsh, disciplined world of the Vikings — a life ruled by loyalty, violence, and the sea.
As he travels across distant coasts and rival kingdoms, Hasting learns not only how to fight, but how to lead. Among warriors and traders, pagans and Christians, he finds belonging for the first time, and love.
When that love is taken from him by betrayal within his own people, Hasting’s search for justice drives him across fractured worlds where faith, culture, and ambition collide. Each victory hardens him. Each loss shapes the man he is becoming.
Inspired by the true exploits of the Viking warlord Hasting, The Lords of the Wind is the opening novel in a sweeping historical saga. The story of a boy who rose from slavery to stand among kings, and the cost of the power he claimed along the way.
