The Vikings return in Giles Kristian's thrilling, heart-in-mouth sequel to God of Vengeance, which Conn Iggulden called 'a masterwork' and Wilbur Smith declared that it 'stirs the blood and thrills the soul'...

"Storm-blown, salt-flecked and gore-spattered, Winter's Fire is a belter of a novel. It's just what I have come to expect from the master storyteller, Giles Kristian, whose books throw the reader headlong into the Viking age. The sights, sounds, tastes and most importantly, the people of the time are there, creating a rich, lyrical tapestry over and through which Kristian weaves a thrilling story. This is a stirring tale of comradeship, bloodshed and treachery. It's perfect for fans of historical fiction and fantasy alike, from Cornwell to Abercrombie." -- BEN KANE

Family history (he is half Norwegian) inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write his first historical novels: the acclaimed and bestselling Raven Viking trilogy - Blood Eye, Sons of Thunder and Odin's Wolves. For his next series, he drew on a long-held fascination with the English Civil War to chart the fortunes of a family divided by that brutal conflict in The Bleeding Land and Brothers' Fury. Giles also co-wrote Wilbur Smith's recent No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion but in his new novels - God of Vengeance (a Times Book of the Year) and now Winter's Fire - he returns to the world of the Vikings to tell the story of Sigurd and his celebrated fictional fellowship. Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
