Hakon's Saga - The Complete Series

Eric Schumacher

Summary

All four books in Eric Schumacher's 'Hakon's Saga', a series of historical fiction set in medieval Scandinavia and Europe, now in one volume!

Mollebakken: Viking Age Norway’s greatest king, Harald Fairhair, has unified the northern districts into a kingdom, but as he ages and his body weakens, so too does his realm. To keep the kingdom from fracturing, Harald abdicates his High Seat to the one son he believes capable enough – and vicious enough – to rule: Erik Bloodaxe. But hatred between the brothers leads to an unavoidable confrontation on a rain-soaked hill called Mollebakken – a hill that will decide who will rule and who will die.

God's Hammer: It is 935 A.D. and the North is in turmoil. To solidify his claim to the throne, Erik Bloodaxe ruthlessly disposes of all claimants to his throne, save one: his youngest brother Hakon. Erik's surviving enemies send a ship to Wessex, where the Christian court of King Athelstan is raising Hakon. Unable to avoid his fate, he returns to the Viking North to face his brother and claim his birthright, only to discover that victory will demand sacrifices beyond his wildest nightmares.

Raven's Feast: The land-hungry Danes are pressing from the south to test Hakon before he can solidify his rule. In the east, the Uplanders are making their own plans to seize the throne. It does not help that Hakon is committed to his dream of Christianizing his people - a dream his countrymen do not share and will fight to resist. As his enemies move in and his realm begins to crumble, Hakon and his band of oath-sworn warriors must make their stand.

War King: A tempest is brewing in the North. The sons of Erik Bloodaxe have come to reclaim his former throne and avenge the wrong done to their father and their kin. With them marches an army of sword-Danes sent by the Danish King, Harald Bluetooth, whose desire to expand his realm is as powerful as the lust for vengeance that pulses in the veins of Erik’s brood. Like storm-driven waves, the opposing forces collide, and when they do, Hakon is left with no choice but to face the tempest and resist.
