The final chapter in No.1 bestseller Giles Kristian's acclaimed Viking saga, chronicling the rise of Sigurd Haraldarson - a story to rank alongside the fiction of Bernard Cornwell, Joe Abercrombie and George R. R. Martin.
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.

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.
*THE TIMES*
‘Warrior-like and bloody, homely and heartfelt, ranging across
oceans, yet nestled around hearth fires, Giles Kristian’s writing
transports you through the Viking world as the thrum, rhythm and
holler of the battle field rings out from the page. Wings of the
Storm isn't simply an historical novel – it is the glorious
embodiment of a time of adventure and passion, of dying old worlds
and thrilling new encounters.’
*DR JANINA RAMIREZ*
This concludes, in magnificent fashion, Giles Kristian's mighty
Viking saga . . . with this marvellous trilogy complete, now is the
time to immerse yourself in it, beginning with God of
Vengeance.
*SUNDAY EXPRESS*
What more could we ask for than a thrilling conclusion to Giles
Kristian’s epic saga of vengeance and betrayal? Written in his
glorious poetic prose with the lift and lilt of the waves beneath
every sentence, the sense of the gods pressing in on each page,
this remains Viking writing at its best: thrilling in its truest
sense, heart-rending, and, yes, glorious…
*MANDA SCOTT*
Nobody writes Viking adventures with the panache, power and sheer
plausibility of Giles Kristian . . . with supreme skill and a
genuine passion, Kristian weaves what little we know about the
religion, culture and codes of Dark Ages Scandinavia into a novel
that grips like a limpet on the rocky Norwegian coast and rings
absolutely true from first to last. The book plunges you into a
gore-drenched, glory-decked time of treacherous jarls and lethal
shieldmaidens; a time of dark magic and human sacrifice, of wild
hunts and vicious feuds, a time of blood-letting and betrayal. But
it is also a time of comradeship and selflessness, when the bonds
forged between men, and women, can endure beyond death. It’s a time
you may never want to leave.
