Books with title The Viking Saga

Between the 8th and 11th centuries Vikings stormed out of their Scandinavian homelands to raid and loot along the coasts of Europe. In old Norse to ‘go-a-viking’ meant to go on an adventure – to seek wealth and fame. Vikings would take to the sea in a long ship, sometimes for a trading trip, sometimes a piratical raid. Often it was both. Explorers and traders, warriors and poets, they ranged between Byzantium in the south and Iceland, and even North America, in the North. Their fame lives on.

At not quite fifteen, Stefan's father finally let him board the longship, Sja Vinna, to take part in his first Viking raid. Yet, the battle was not at all what he expected, and he soon found himself alone and stranded in Scotland.Thirteen-year-old Kannak's situation was just as grave. Her father deserted them and the only way to survive, she decided, was to take a husband over her mother's objections. Instead, she found herself hiding a hated Viking, and that wasn't the only problem - someone was plotting to kill the clan's beloved laird.

Ben Fairbrother and his family move to Yorkshire to live in his grandpa’s house, an old house with an even older oak tree standing guard outside. But when Ben stares out of his bedroom window the tree isn’t there! And where are the lights from the other houses nearby and the traffic on the road beyond the field. ‘The Viking Axe’ is Ben’s first adventure in his new surroundings in the north in which he finds out about the Saxon and Viking children who lived on this very spot hundreds of years ago.
