HAMMER OF THE GODS: King Olaf's Viking Conquest

Tells the extraordinary saga of Olaf Tryggvason -- warlord, wanderer, king, and crusader -- whose life rivals the most legendary figures of Viking lore. Born in exile and hunted from birth, Olaf survived slavery, betrayal, and shipwreck to become a fearsome warrior across the Viking world from the icy fjords of Norway to the courts of Kyiv, the slave markets of the Baltics, and the battlefields of England and Ireland. His rise would shake the foundations of Norse society, forge new kingdoms, and ignite a holy war against the old gods themselves. Contains 8-page plate section in color.
