Description

The Half-Drowned King by Linnea Hartsuyker is a gripping saga that brings Viking-era Norway to life. In this superbly good page-turning tale, the author draws inspiration from the true story of Ragnvald of Maer and his sister Svanhild.

When Ragnvald's father dies in battle, he must navigate a treacherous world where petty rulers vie for power and a prophesied high king is on the rise. His sister Svanhild, meanwhile, faces a different fate: marriage to secure her family's future. But when she finds herself at the mercy of her brother's arch-rival, Svanhild must make an ultimate choice between family and freedom.

Drawing from the Icelandic Sagas, this epic novel explores the complexities of Viking-Age Norway, where loyalty, duty, and survival are tested in a society where women are often seen as pawns in the game of power. With its vivid characters and gripping storyline, The Half-Drowned King is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction.
