WOLF WINTER
IS THE FIRST IN A NEW SERIES,
AGE OF TYRANTS,
BY MULTIPLE AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR C.R. MAY - A REIMAGINING OF
HEART OF DARKNESS
AND
APOCALYPSE NOW
, SET DURING THE VOLCANIC WINTER OF 536.
Gruff voices carry above the crackle of burning thatch. Words spoken in Norse. As he embarks upon the next stage of his journey, Holger savours the sound, the creeping realisation that he may never hear the like again growing with every step.
THE BARBARIAN NORTH
Lordless following a bloody sacrifice in Uppsala, Holger Skamkeling retreats to the wildwood as the Wolf Winter bares its fangs.
Crops are washed away. Bergs plague the sea-lanes as a ghostly fog cloaks the world. With populations starving, and the coastal pans unworkable in the bone-numbing freeze, salt, for curing, becomes the currency of power.
Summoned by Eystein, king of the Swedes, Holger is sent on a mission deep into the lands of the Lutici; to the temple at Rethra, where a shadowy figure has halted the shipments of rock salt from the mines.
His directive is Do whatever it takes to restore the supply.

Another excellent read
Wolf Winter was a very enjoyable book from an author establishing himself as among the best in historical fiction, highlighting skill with both character and world building as seen in previous series. Eagerly awaiting the rest of this one!

Another great book
Every book of his that I've read is awesome and this one is no exception. He fits so much into one book. From chapter one till the last page the story just keeps building. You really need to read this book.
