Before his encounter with Ealdorman Leofwine on his fateful trip to Shetland, King Swein first had to wrestle Denmark from an overmighty father and make his own name as a warrior of great renown.
This side story to the Earls of Mercia series tells of the early years of King Swein’s reign, his first raid on England, his unfortunate encounter with Ealdorman Leofwine and his desire to once and for all kill Olaf of Norway, culminating in the mighty sea battle of Svolder in 999.
I hope you enjoy – this can be read as a standalone if you’ve not yet read the rest of the books in the series as the main character is one of the minor characters in the series.
Swein is also available to read with a Kindle Unlimited Subscription.
