Book 1
Ubba, Ivar's brother, has already befriended Ralf, admiring him for making a life in a new country as a lone Dane. When it emerges, that Ivar is not responsible, Ubba assists Ralf on a mission to reclaim his family from slave traders.
Torri, wife of Ubba and fierce shieldmaiden, will bloody her hands to protect her sons, the Ragnarsson heirs, at any cost. The might of their bloodline is recognised the world over, with tales of blood eagles and berserking striking fear into hardened warriors... but the whispers of war are getting louder.
Can Ubba the reluctant king put a stop to his volatile brother's lust for power and destruction? Or will Ivar's fits of rage and jealousy threaten everything they have fought for?
Third
Ubba Ragnarsson is enjoying his retirement in the Yorkshire countryside. He'd happily settle down on the farm and wait to see what the gods have in store for his children. But it would seem that others have plans that might threaten his hard earned peace and tranquillity.
His daughter Freya is eager to know just what the gods hold in store for her. If she doesn't find out soon, she might be tempted to create her own destiny. But going against the path the gods have set for you is fraught with danger...
Sigtryggr is keen to become King of Jorvik, and Halfdan intends to invade Durham. The problem is, Ubba has sworn to protect Queen Aethelflaed in the event of an invasion, and he is dutybound to honour that promise…
And Ubba's wife Torri has worries of her own...
It looks like the time for resting is over! The Ragnarssons are loading the longboats, and this time it's for a social visit.
