Eric Schumacher Books In Order

God’s Hammer

935 AD: The North is in turmoil. Harald Fairhair, Norway’s greatest King has died leaving his high seat to his murderous son Erik Bloodaxe. To solidify his claim, Erik ruthlessly disposes of all opponents to his throne, save one.

Erik’s surviving enemies send a ship to England where Hakon, Erik’s youngest brother, is being fostered in the Christian court of King Athelstan. Unable to avoid his fate, Hakon leaves the comforts of the English court to face his ruthless brother in the North. Armed with his dream of becoming Norway’s first Christian King, yet confronted with the limitations of his youth and the hostility of the Pagans he would rule, Hakon Haraldsson discovers that true victory over Erik might come only by sacrificing that which he holds most dear; his ideals.
