“Skeie’s account of ruthless conflict, political intrigue, and diplomatic machinations reads like a real-life Game of Thrones—without the dragons. Medieval history buffs will be riveted.” --Publishers Weekly Thrilling history provides a new perspective on the Viking-Anglo Saxon conflicts and brings the bloody period vividly to life, perfect for fans of Dan Jones The first major book on Vikings by a Scandinavian author to be published in English, The Wolf Age reframes the struggle for a North Sea empire and puts readers in the mindset of Vikings, providing new insight into their goals, values, and what they chose to live and die for. Tore Skeie ("Norway's Most Important Young Historian") takes readers on a thrilling journey through the bloody shared history of England and Scandinavia, and on across early medieval Europe, from the wild Norwegian fjords to the wealthy cities of Muslim Andalusia. Warfare, plotting, backstabbing and bribery abound as Skeie skillfully weaves sagas and skaldic poetry with breathless dramatization as he entertainingly brings the world of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons to vivid life.

This vicious cycle draws all the lands of the north into a brutal struggle for supremacy and survival that will shatter kingdoms and forge an empire…

Enjoy this free introductory story to the Berserker Boys romance trilogy. When her friend’s celebrity crush, in full Viking cosplay, sits down for lunch at the same restaurant, Aaliyah is determined to introduce her friend to the man. Instant attraction turns to anger, and instead of asking for an introduction, she sees red. Aaliyah challenges Vik, with his piercing blue eyes, on the meaning of his tattoos. Given a chance and a lot of charm and convincing, Vik hastily explains the true meaning of his marks. He invites Aaliyah and her friends to come see what he means. Vik had already chosen to embrace his Viking persona for game-play when magic forced the shift on him. Magical forces, using the power of online video gaming, are opening portals between worlds. That same magic causes Vik and his friends to shift into their berserker forms when called to do battle against invading hordes of orcs and goblins. It was supposed to be an afternoon of fun and mayhem, but Vik realizes too late, he may have put the feisty, beautiful Aaliyah in danger. Cosplay takes on a whole new meaning when Viking gamers have the power to shape shift. You don’t choose the berserker life. The berserker life chooses you.

With their ill-fated raid on the monastary at Glendalough torn apart by betrayal and defeat, Thorgrim Night Wolf and his handful of survivors from the crew of Sea Hammer find themselves in desperate and tenuous straights. Stranded far from the safety of Vík-ló, surrounded by enemies, and with barely enough men to work the longship's oars, the Norsemen must make their way back through a dangerous and uncertain country. Thorgrim, however, is not interested in mere survival. His one thought, his one desire, is to take revenge on those whose treachery led to the slaughter of so many of his men. Assembling an ad hoc army of unlikely allies, Thorgrim leads his warriors to a final showdown that can end only in his enemies' death or his own.
