About this listen

The Viking King Authun leads his men on a raid against an Anglo-Saxon village. Men and women are killed indiscriminately, but Authun demands that no child be touched. He is acting on prophecy. A prophecy that tells him that the Saxons have stolen a child from the gods. If Authun, in turn, takes the child and raises him as an heir, the child will lead his people to glory.

But Authun discovers not one child but twin baby boys. Ensuring that his faithful warriors, witnesses to what has happened, die during the raid, Authun takes the children and their mother home, back to the witches who live on the troll wall. And he places his destiny in their hands.

And so begins a stunning multivolume fantasy epic that will take a werewolf from his beginnings as the heir to a brutal Viking king down through the ages. It is a journey that will see him hunt for his lost love through centuries and lives and see the endless battle between the wolf, Odin and Loki - the eternal trickster - spill over into countless bloody conflicts from our history and over into our lives.

One of my absolute favorites when it comes to portrayal of magic and mythology. The Norse gods are close enough to be major players in the story but distant enough that it doesn't feel strange that there are people who don't believe they even exist. The world of viking-age Scandinavia has been well researched. The magic is the best part though. It feels almost realistic yet maddening and barbarically esoteric. Something about hearing of how these witches and sorcerers bend their minds through painful rituals, puts me in a strange headspace where it comes close to making sense.

If there is any weaknesses in this book, to me it would be the characters. Not bad but being true to the setting means that there is less to relate too. The characters are very much a part of the world they live in. I get the feeling authenticity was a high priority when writing this.
