Viking: Hárekr the Conqueror

865 AD. Ragnar Lodbrok, the Viking King, has entered Valhalla. King Aelle threw him into a pit of snakes. Ivar the Boneless, Björn Ironside and the rest are already sharpening their axes for revenge. The Great Heathen Army is preparing to paint the Saxon lands red. And in the fjords of Norway, a son of Ragnar and Lagertha, conceived years ago, was growing up in secret. Now, at sixteen winters old, he learns that his fate is to avenge the father he never knew. He sets sail with a fleet of 250 men from the fjords, ready to raid the Saxon kingdoms and join the Great Heathen Army. His name is Hárekr. Author's Note: This story is based on a few real historical events, adapted into fiction. If there are inconsistencies in certain aspects, that's because it is fiction. I drew inspiration from these great men of the North, but it won't be a free-for-all: there will be narrative consistency, and I'll stick to the historical framework where it matters. I should also make one thing clear: everything begins in 865 AD. The Scandinavians believed in their gods. So Norse paganism will be present throughout the story. If that bothers you, this novel isn't for you. I want to honor their culture, their rituals and their faith, and also show the spread of Christianity into the North when its time comes. Important warning: This story contains explicit violence, pagan sacrifice, death and mature themes. 18+. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Viking: Hárekr the Conqueror — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
