King of the Wood

by John Maddox Roberts
King of the Wood by John Maddox Roberts
Unrated

In 1450 A.D. Treeland is home to the glorious Vikings, but it is also a land of many other peoples: Christian Norsemen, Spanish Muslims, Norwegian pagans, and Skraelings, the original inhabitants of America.

One man, cast from his homeland for kinslaying, cuts a swath through the very heart of this sprawling country. In a journey which begins on the eastern coast and nearly ends on the blood-drenched pyramids of Mexico, Hring Kristjanson reshapes his world. Driven by a relentless determination to survive, Hring willingly sacrifices all to rule now and forever as King of the Wood.
