Harlond has created the perfect flawed hero in Finn and his journey is as challenging and mystical as any of the old sagas. A beautiful homage to the Norse stories of old, this tale of quest and adventure has satisfying twists and turns and is peppered with memorable, beautifully drawn characters.
Annie Whitehead Author and Historian - FRHistS
An adventure story reminiscent of Rosemary Sutcliff, skillfully blending history and mythology in an action-filled coming of age tale.
Marian L Thorpe - author of the Empire's Legacy series
The Doomsong Voyage is an enthralling fantasy novel rooted in Norse myths and deeply grounded in historical evidence. Author J.G. Harlond spins an immersive, beautifully written tale of one man's quest to find the rightful owner of a legendary sword and, by doing so, save his people from certain doom.Story-teller Finn is no adventurer, nor does he have any battle skills. To his shock, he is chosen by a magical being known as Master Odo to hand-carry the Doomsong Sword across the seas to a bloodthirsty pirate in the south. The tests he faces along the way make for a rollicking adventure underpinned by Viking lore and populated by the supernatural creatures of Norse mythology.
J.G. Harlond's superb world building and authentic historical details, along with an engaging cast of characters led by the humble but courageous Finn, make for a thoroughly enjoyable journey into a world of fantasy, magic, and high-seas adventure. Though this book (the companion to The Doomsong Sword) is aimed at a young audience, adult readers will find this tale fascinating, too. Highly recommended.
