A brat who got transported into a fantasy world—yesterday’s gamer-nerd and pacifist. Thought you’d end up as a jarl and lead the warband into battle? Damn you—your fate is to clean the stalls, tend the sheep, and die of hunger when the bread doesn’t grow… Or not?
The cycle is devoted to Viking raids (8th–9th centuries), but the action is moved into a fantasy universe. Still, when writing, historical realities were taken into account.
