This is the most amazing book I’ve read since the hobbit and Lord of the rings. Brent takes us for a ride through the era of kings battling for supremacy. There’s a kink in the story that I can’t say. Don’t want to spoil it. I also like the fact that the author has been to these places so he writes from the heart. This should be on the New York times as a best seller. I would recommend this to anyone who wants adventure. Hope to see more from this author. _ Computer Technical Service
How would our world be different if the Vikings had settled in the New World and formed a mutually beneficial alliance with First Nation peoples? This novel is a page turner; full of historical detail, action, and grand characters including a number of fierce women. _ MGO
