Omschrijving
The fourth instalment of a brilliantly conceived Viking epic set across eighth-century Europe. An ambitious, masterful series.
A full-blooded and superbly descriptive novel, bringing to vivid life the Byzantine empire and the Viking world. Along with its rich themes of treachery and intrigue, love and sacrifice, loyalty and honour, there is plenty of bloodshed for Viking fans. A page-turner of real quality.
Superb. A Burning Sea is another vivid, enthralling read, yet again proving that Theodore Brun is a force to be reckoned with in both historical fiction and historical fantasy.
Brilliant. Theodore Brun might just be historical fiction's next big thing.
Gripping. Gut-wrenching. Visceral. Highly recommended
A masterly debut. ... If Bernard Cornwell and George RR Martin had a lovechild, it would look like A Mighty Dawn. I devoured it late into the night, and eagerly await the sequel.
Evocative prose and the brutality of the Viking world, it's all here, woven with a deft touch into a tremendous tale.
Ranging over a landscape reaching from Rome to Constantinople, Book Four in The Wanderer Chronicles brings us the story of a wronged queen willing to commit an audacious act to secure a vast store of gold to redeem her homeland. The men who aid, abet, and attempt to thwart her scheme have their own reasons to risk their lives on the adventure. Fragile political alliances and long standing friendships alike are tested, some to stand, others to fail. Brimming with rich sensory detail and peopled by characters who leave indelible impressions, Theodore Brun's A Savage Moon draws us into a world rife with shamanic predation, and redeemed by the steadfast power of belief. A truly gripping read.
A Savage Moon is vast in scope, but the ending is personal and climactic, a tale of friendship, love, trust and, for one of the characters, renewal, set against a backdrop of almost indescribable savagery. It's sure to appeal to fans of historical fiction and historical fantasy.
Theodore Brun studied Dark Age archaeology at Cambridge. In 2010, he quit his job as an arbitration lawyer in Hong Kong and cycled 10,000 miles across Asia and Europe to his home in Norfolk. A Savage Moon is his fourth novel.
