Huldra

“The wind’s spiteful fingers plucked the makeshift roof of the hall like a chicken, sending shreds of leaves spiralling into the dark and leaving a bare rib-cage of branches over the men’s heads. Lightning clashed like the blades of battle, and thunder galloped with pounding hooves. In every head-splitting burst of brightness, Blacktooth caught glimpses of his crew, white-faced and cringing.

Something else was squatting amongst them.”

 

Eirik Blacktooth’s cold-hearted crew of Draguar are walking again... Huginn and Muninn, the Valravne, fly the night... and the Einherjar - the finest warriors chosen from the battle-slain - are on the march.

Once again, Gunnhild Lashtongue is getting all the blame...

 

Huldra is the third in The Gunnhild Lashtongue Series
