The Rise of Sigurd is Giles Kristian’s return to the Viking age after the Bleeding Land duology. The trilogy follows Sigurd, a young Norse warrior driven by vengeance after a king’s betrayal destroys his family.
God of Vengeance (2014), which was named a Times Book of the Year, introduces Sigurd as he begins to build a warband from outcasts and oath-breakers. Winter’s Fire (2016) and Wings of the Storm (2016) continue his campaign through battles, alliances, and confrontations with both mortal enemies and the fading power of the old gods. The trilogy shares the Raven series’ grounding in Viking culture and combat but tells an independent story.
