Buy The Serpent King by Tim Hodkinson

It’s AD936. The great warrior, Einar Unnsson, wants revenge. His mother’s assassin has stolen her severed head and Einar is hungry for his blood. Only one thing holds him back. He is a newly sworn in Wolf Coat, and must accompany them on their latest quest.

The Wolf Coats are a band of fearsome bloodthirsty warriors, who roam the seas, killing any enemies who get in their way. Now they’re determined to destroy their biggest enemy, King Eirik, as he attempts to take the throne of Norway.

Yet, for Einar, the urge to return to Iceland is growing every day. Only there, in his homeland, can he avenge his mother and salve his grief.

But what Einar doesn’t know is that this is where an old enemy lurks, and his thirst for vengeance equals Einar’s…

The Serpent King by Tim Hodkinson is published as an ebook on 10 June, 2021.
