A Warriors Weight, A King's Regret

The Hunger of Harald Bluetooth takes readers on a gripping journey through the life of one of history's most fascinating Viking kings. Born into a kingdom divided by pagan and Christian forces, Harald Bluetooth is thrust into the turbulent world of Viking politics, warfare, and faith. From his birth to the throne, the challenges he faces are immense, from internal rebellion to the struggle to unite Denmark and Norway under his rule.

A king forced to reconcile the old ways of the Norse gods with the new Christian faith, Harald's journey is marked by battle, betrayal, and personal loss. As his kingdom falters, his relationships with family, especially his son Sweyn Forkbeard, grow increasingly strained. Betrayal, both within his own court and from his son, ultimately brings Harald to a crossroads, where his choices will determine the future of his people.

This historically accurate adventure offers an intimate look into the mind of a Viking king who shaped the course of Scandinavian history, but whose reign was also marked by the deep personal cost of leadership. The book ends with a real timeline of Harald's life, dispelling the myths and presenting the truth of his legacy.

"An epic tale of power, betrayal, and faith. The Hunger of Harald Bluetooth brings the Viking world to life in vivid detail, immersing readers in the struggles of one of history's most complex kings. A must-read for fans of historical fiction straight from fact." -Sherman Hutchinson, Literary Critic
