About this listen

The latest instalment in JC Duncan's action-packed Last Viking series

The greatest threat to the empire is not a foreign army, but the thirst for power at all costs.

1038 AD, Constantinople

Harald Sigurdsson has risen through bravery and glory in battle to become the commander of the legendary Varangian guard, the oath-sworn protector of the Roman throne in Constantinople; The wielder of the emperor’s axe.

With the estranged Emperor and Empress consumed in a deadly palace war for sole control of the empire, Harald must somehow keep the peace. In a city where everything is taken by subterfuge, violence and deceit, what must an honourable man do to protect the empire from both its enemies and itself?

Harald might be forced to choose between his life and his oaths, to take a side or become an enemy of all, and watch, outcast, as the empire crumbles.
Harald is a master of war, but victory in battle will no longer be enough.

The explosive next chapter in the extraordinary tale of Harald Hardrada

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far. Very pleased to realize there are still two more books to go! Strong characters and an absorbing storyline kept me intrigued and listening. Plenty of action and packed with intrigue, with twists and turn through the story. One of my favorite series!!
