Description
The Bear of Byzantium by S. J. A. Turney is set in AD 1041, when Constantinople was a city of intrigue and power struggles. Halfdan and his crew, the Sea Wolf, have sailed to the city after avenging their father's death, seeking adventure in unfamiliar lands. They join Harald Hardrada's fleet, sailing back from the battlefields of Georgia, and become part of the Varangian Guard, the personal bodyguard of the Byzantine Emperors. As they navigate the complex world of Constantinople, the crew faces internal conflicts and external threats. Gunnhild, a seer among the Sea Wolf crew, establishes herself as a healer and soothsayer in the city, offering her services to those seeking guidance or relief from illness. However, her visions reveal a more ominous future, with a wolf, boar, and golden bear fighting together to support the Byzantine throne. This is the second instalment in The Wolves of Odin series, taking readers to the heart of power in Constantinople and the desperate machinations of the Byzantine emperors.
