Publisher's Summary
But times are changing. Loyalty to the old Norse Gods is fading, and the followers of the mysterious "White Christ" are gaining power across Europe. Hired as relic-hunters by the merchant rulers of a bustling city, the Oathsworn are sent in search of a legendary sword of untold value to the new religion. With only a young girl as guide, their quest will lead them onto the deep and treacherous waters of the "whale road", toward the cursed treasure of Attila the Hun. And to a challenge that will test the very bond that holds them together.
A significant new voice in historical fiction, Robert Low has created a startlingly modern tale in the style of the great Viking sagas. A heady mix of powerful suspense, blockbuster battles and religious intrigue, The Whale Road is a must for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Tim Severin.

The ways of wild men
Spare and powerful prose with a neatly constructed plot. Has a whiff of reality about it but also deference to the Norse myth-inflected view of the world. The characters are desperate and given to violent improvisation and yet remain human and largely sympathetic. A real pity that the other books in this series have not been released as audiobooks. The narrator does an exceptional job, particularly in the fight scenes.
