内容简介：
Journey back to a time that never was, to a kingdom ravaged by war and raiders, to a land overrun by giants, dragons and trolls. Meet the hero who seeks to avenge the murder of his father and reclaim the throne of Norway. Meet the angry gods and demons of the past who conspire to lay him low. Meet the women whose love will seal his fate. In an age of the sword where might meant right and the watch fires burned along the northern coasts, an age where the very word Viking struck fear into the hearts of men all over the world, this then is the epic tale of one man who fought against his fate only to discover in the end what the wise already know: No man may escape his destiny.
