4 out 5

An action-packed blend of historical adventure and fantasy for junior readers; a blast of uncensored Viking adventure.

Gunnar is the son of an Anglo-Saxon chieftain, living peacefully on his family steading with his mother, father and their people – until they are raided by Skuli and his Wolf Men, who raze his home to the ground and take his father’s life. Gunnar swears an oath to avenge his father’s death and save his mother from Skuli – but first he must run to save himself. Murderous raiders, hand to hand battles to the death, mythical flying wolves and a relentless sea journey to the Land of Fire and Ice… Unknown to Gunnar, his life has been foretold, and he finds he has a destiny greater than his own story.

My whole class are reading it and I think personally it is a good book. It is about a boy who swears an oath to destroy the outlaws who burned his house and killed his dad.

Yes I would like to recommend it to other people who like very sad and gruesome

King Stinky Quagmire 28.07.2022

I would only recommend this to someone that is quite adventurous and not scared easily as this is quite an adventurous book and can be a little frightening for some but it’s an ok book it’s pretty boring and just not my type of thing x
