Donald has spun another terrific yarn, skilfully interweaving heart-thumping action sequences with a compelling plot... his writing is original and completely convincing. The Saxon Wolf is another step forward and a step up in the Fire Born series. Compelling, disturbing, entertaining, this is a bloody riot from start to finish. In every good sense.
Theodore Brun, author of A Burning Sea

Synopsis

Book 3 of 4: Fire Born

Conflict flares once more in Saxony...

March, AD 773. Bjarki Bloodhand is now Fire Born – a legendary berserker inhabited by the ferocious spirit of a bear in battle. Yet he has sworn never again to allow that sacred rage to possess him, lest he for ever lose himself in the madness like his father.

Tor Hildarsdottir yearns to save pagan Saxony from the grip of the Christian Franks, who now occupy half the region. But she also has serious problems closer to home with her fast-growing pet bear cub, Garm, and, worse, she seems to be falling in love.

Widukind, new lord of the Saxons, is on a mission to reconquer the lands of his fathers from the Franks. He will stop at nothing to win the hearts of the men and women of the North, and bind them to his cause. But will they follow the Saxon Wolf in an unwinnable war? And will Bjarki join them?

Reviews

The Loki Sword is the third instalment in Angus Donald’s Fire Born series, and it packs the same high quality of berserker savagery we have enjoyed previously. As before, the saga continues to follow the fearsome sibling duo, Bjarki Bloodhand and Tor Hildarsdottir, on yet more escapades against their enemies, the Christian Franks, and any others who are foolish enough to cross their paths.

Ah, Angus Donald. An author who never fails to deliver, fun and character driven adventures. He is a classy writer so you know before the first page is turned that it will be good and you will be entertained.
