The Vikings return in Giles Kristian's thrilling, heart-in-mouth sequel to God of Vengeance, which Conn Iggulden called 'a masterwork' and Wilbur Smith declared that it 'stirs the blood and thrills the soul'...
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. His contemporary
survival thriller, Where Blood Runs Cold, won the Wilbur Smith
Adventure Writing Prize. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot,
Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His
epic reimagining of our greatest island 'history' continued in
Camelot and draws to a breath-taking close with Arthur.
Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.

Storm-blown, salt-flecked and gore-spattered, Winter’s Fire is a
belter of a novel. It’s just what I have come to expect from the
master storyteller, Giles Kristian, whose books throw the reader
headlong into the Viking age . . . this is a stirring tale of
comradeship, bloodshed and treachery. It’s perfect for fans of
historical fiction and fantasy alike, from Cornwell to
Abercrombie.
*BEN KANE*
Wild as the waves, savage as a wolf pack in full flight, this is
Viking writing at its best. bloody and savage and glorious, this
tale of courage and cunning, of vengeance and of lives touched by
the Gods is all we could possibly ask for from a historical novel:
perfect.
*MANDA SCOTT*
Nobody writes this type of swaggering historical fiction better
than Kristian. Big swords, bigger beards and lots of action, all
delivered with real panache and poetry.
*The Times*
There are authors whose work I take the time to savour. Ben Kane
for gritty, brutal history. Christian Cameron for the lyrical
essence of men at war. Joe Abercrombie for grim, scarred characters
with no choice except to fight and die. Giles Kristian’s Winter's
Fire combined all three, but blended with a panache that made the
pages fly by in a single sitting. More!
*ANTHONY RICHES*
Simply stunning.
