Wolf Winter
"The first in a new series, Age of Tyrants, a reimaging of 'Heart Of Darkness' and 'Apocalypse Now', set during the volcanic winter of 536AD"
Gruff voices carry above the crackle of burning thatch. Words spoken in Norse.
As he embarks upon the next stage of his journey, Holger savours the sound, the creeping realisation that he may never hear the like again growing with every step.
In the barbarian north, lordless now, following a bloody sacrifice in Uppsala, Holger Skamkeling retreats to the wildwood as the Wolf Winter bares its fangs. Crops are washed away, icebergs plague the sea-lanes as a ghostly fog cloaks the world. With populations starving, and the coastal pans unworkable in the bone-numbing freeze, salt for curing becomes the currency of power.
Summoned by Eystein, King of the Swedes, Holger is sent on a mission deep into the lands of the Lutici Slavs; to the temple at Rethra, where a shadowy figure has halted the shipments
of rock salt from the mines.
His directive is simple: do whatever it takes to restore the supply.
