In an age of longships, warrior kings, and clashing faiths, two young Norsemen are swept into the turmoil of a world on the brink of transformation.
Set during the Viking Age, The Cross and the Hammer follows the adventures of Sigurd Fairhair and Vagn Akison as they are drawn into the struggles that accompanied the spread of Christianity through Scandinavia. What begins amid the celebrations and proud vows of kings and warriors soon becomes a perilous journey filled with conflict, captivity, loyalty, and courage. As rival rulers contend for power and ancient traditions collide with a new faith, the two youths must navigate a dangerous world where honour and survival are constantly tested.
Against a backdrop of Viking raids, royal ambitions, and the conversion of Norway, H. Bedford-Jones brings to life the dramatic age when the old gods were challenged by the coming of the Cross. Battles rage across the North, friendships are forged in hardship, and destinies are shaped by the great events transforming an entire civilization.
Rich in historical atmosphere and fast-paced adventure, The Cross and the Hammer combines action, heroism, and historical drama in a vivid tale of the Viking world. Filled with longships, warriors, kings, and the struggle between old beliefs and new, it offers an exciting journey into one of the most fascinating periods of Northern European history.
