A Savage Moon by Theodore Brun

5 October 2023 By Editor

Buy A Savage Moon by Theodore Brun

Byzantium, 718AD, and the great siege is over.

Crippled warrior Erlan Aurvandil is weary of war. But he must rally his strength to lead a band of misfit adventurers back to the North, to reclaim the stolen kingdom of his lover, Lilla Sviggarsdottir.

For this, they need an army. To raise an army, they need gold.

Together they plot a daring heist to steal the Emperor’s tribute to his ally. Barely escaping with their lives, they voyage north, ready for the fight.

But when fate strands them in a foreign land already riven by war, Erlan and Lilla are drawn inexorably into the web of a dark and gruesome foe.

As blades fall and shadows close in, only one thing for them is certain: a savage moon is rising. And it demands an ocean of blood.

A Savage Moon by Theodore Brun is published on 5 October, 2023.

Read Theodore’s feature about the history of werewolves and find out their connection to the Viking world — and his book.
