A Viking adventure, packed with battles, blood and gore, Raven- Blood Eye is historical fiction at its very best and marks the debut of an outstanding talent.

If you like Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell, you will love this spellbinding Viking adventure, packed with battles, blood and gore, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lancelot, Giles Kristian.

"An unabashed carnival of bloodletting and betrayal...Kristian has a knack for writing real blokes living their lives, not reciting their author's research." -- DAILY TELEGRAPH

"A gripping tale of action and treachery which splendidly conjures up the sounds, sights and smells of Dark Age Britain..." - HARRY SIDEBOTTOM

"A powerful, lightning-paced tale of the Norsemen in England..." - BERNARD CORNWELL

"I have been thoroughly overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of Kristian's writing style, depth and colour of story, meaningful characters and clever humour. I have been most definitely impressed and have almost finished the 3rd book in the series. Time to return to the beginning and read again." -- ***** Reader review

*********************************************
SOME CALLED THEM WOLVES OF THE SEA. OTHERS SIMPLY CALLED THEM VIKINGS.

For two years Osric has lived a simple life, though he is feared and shunned for his mysterious past and blood-red eye. When raiders from across the sea ransack his village, Osric finds himself taken prisoner by their chief, Sigurd the Lucky.

Immersed in the Norsemen's world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a deep bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven.

But the Norsemen's world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood, and a young man must become a killer to survive...

Raven- Blood Eye is the first title in the Raven trilogy. The story continues in Raven- Sons of Thunder.

Giles Kristian

Family history (he is half Norwegian) inspired Giles Kristian to write his first historical novels: the acclaimed and bestselling Raven Viking trilogy Blood Eye, Sons of Thunder and Odin's Wolves.

A long-held fascination with the English Civil War then led him to chart the fortunes of a family divided by that brutal conflict in The Bleeding Land and Brothers’ Fury before co-writing Wilbur Smith’s No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion.

In his recent novels – God of Vengeance (a Times Book of the Year), Winter’s Fire and now Wings of the Storm – he returned to the Viking world to tell the story of the rise of Sigurd Haraldarson and his celebrated fictional fellowship. Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
