Buy The Sword of Cnut by Griff Hosker

Sven Saxon Sword is now a lord.

He rules a small village on the river. He thinks that his service to King Cnut, now that he had helped him to gain the crown, is over.

He is wrong.

Not only does he have to deal with Norse raiders but he is also summoned to serve in a war against the Swedes.

The Oathsword is called upon again to save not only King Cnut and his ambitions, but also his home.

The Sword of Cnut by Griff Hosker is published on 29 March, 2024. It’s the fifth book in his Danelaw Saga.
