Renowned Swedish author Jan Fridegard is internationally known for his unflinching realism. His Viking Slave Trilogy (Land of the Wooden Gods, People of the Dawn, and Sacrificial Smoke) captures the turmoil and violence of Viking life, where the Norse pagan gods demand human sacrifices and ritual orgies dominate the seasons. Steeped in myth and magic, this epic saga of chieftains, slaves, and Viking warriors takes the reader into the heart of the Viking Age Kingdom of the Swedes. www.juleswilliampress.com
