The Siege of Sweyn Forkbeard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232297701)

Ferocious, Fearless, and Fantastically Faithful.

Before Cnut the Great, before the North Sea Empire, before England fell beneath the storm of the Vikings, there was Sweyn Forkbeard: the king forged in fire, rebellion, and tragedy.

The Siege of Sweyn Forkbeard is a sweeping, historically accurate adventure chronicling the life of the Danish ruler who reshaped Europe. Born to a mother who adored him and a father who expected greatness, Sweyn's childhood quickly becomes a crucible of conflict. His early years set the course for a destiny soaked in both heartbreak and iron. When Sweyn rises against his father, the fracture between them splits Denmark, and Sweyn's soul.

From battles on sea and shore, to political storms, forbidden loves, royal alliances, burning betrayals, and the forging of an empire, this is the definitive story of the man whose children carried his legacy across nations and centuries.

At the end of the book you will find a complete factual timeline of Sweyn Forkbeard's life, included to help cut through myth and reveal the true man behind the legend.

"A thunderous, beautifully researched saga that resurrects a king history tried to forget." -Sherman Hutchinson, Literary Critic
