The King of The Lochlains

Nikolas Goffridr sets out from his native Halogaland to win new lands for his family in the Sudreya, the Southern Isles, late in the 9th century.

Accompanied by the Giant, Njiall, his teacher in the arts of war and story teller of the trials of Odin, he encounters an unexpected ally in the Pict Druidess, Flachra. Together and with a beautiful Pict queen at his side, they forge a new kingdom of the Isles that reaches to the coasts of Eire and Pictland.

In this rich story of the beginnings of an historic kingdom that has been referenced in the annals of the Irish monks and the Prse Edda of the Icelandic Vikings, the author strives for historical authenticity while weaving an almost supernatural tale of romance, war and treachery.

This is the second book in the series, 'Songs of Warriors, Chants of Freedom' and represents the first incarnation of the series with a view into the third.
