The Wolf of Kings
Winter Warrior
The exciting new adventure in the Wolf of Kings series of historical adventures by Richard Cullen.
England, 1069. King William has finally stamped his authority on this conquered kingdom. His lands are held in the grasp of Frankish lords, and their castles dominate the skyline. But a rebellious few still lurk on the fringes, and they will not fade quietly into the wilderness.
In the east, an outlaw rebel has risen, gathering support from the common folk, and building an island fortress that stands as a bastion of hope against Frankish oppression. Edgar the Aetheling remains defiant in his quest for the throne, and alongside renowned warrior Styrkar, the Red Wolf, sails to Denmark where he will forge an uneasy alliance.
As winter shrouds the land in a cloak of frost, Styrkar, and the rebels at his side, will discover just how brutal the Conqueror can be. For King William is determined to stamp out further resistance, marshalling acts of utter cruelty that will leave a blight on England for decades. Deeds that perhaps even the Red Wolf might not survive...

Great saga
Was a great ending of story, will miss Stryker Red Wolf, well written and recommend to all Viking lovers. Richard Cullen keep up the good work.

Cullen is on a role with these Historical adventures! I have to be honest here, I missed the first two books in this series, but even so, I thoroughly enjoyed Winter Warrior and had no trouble following along. If Cullen didn't explain it himself, it was either self explanatory or I did a web search on any questions I may have had. Styrkar is a magnificent character and I know I must start from the beginning to learn his full scope. Ronan is the slimy, dirty dealing kind of character you love to hate. This is already the second book of Richard Cullen's I've read this year, the other being Crusade, so I think this is going to be a banner year for Historical Novels!
I am leaving my honest review after reading an ARC from Netgalley.
