In The Wolf Sea, we find t he band washed up in a hostile city, battle weary and out of luck. Orm, who is now their leader, seeks to bring them back once more to wealth and warfare. The band is still in conflict with Starkad, heading another group of Vikings, who has stolen Orm’s prized sword, the legendary Rune Serpent with runes writ upon the hilt that only Orm can decipher.

And yet again The Oathsworn embark on a dangerous mission to reclaim their precious sword and pursue the elusive Starkad across the turbulent wolf sea. This time their adventures take them from Greece to Jerusalem, and on the way they get involved in some of the big battles between the rules of the East. It is an awesome, swashbuckling tale with great characters and with a plot full of surprising twists.

The Wolf Sea is another epic adventure full of bloody action from Robert Low, full of interesting historical detail, and in many ways a better book – better written and more confident in its style – than his debut, The Whale Road.

Praise:

“…a rousing, sprawling saga of Viking warriors and the quest for hidden treasure….Low mixes history, archeology, mythology and nonstop, often-sanguinary action into a fast-moving adventure tale.”

–Publishers Weekly

“A company of warriors, desperate battles, an enthralling read.”

–Bernard Cornwell
