The Swan's Road by Garth Pettersen.

Welcome to Garth Pettersen, my fellow Tirgearr author.

Garth's fabulous sounding book, The Swan's Road, is released today.  This is definitely one going on my 'To Be Read' pile!

I'll let Garth tell you all about it.





In the eleventh century, Cnute, the Viking king of Engla-lond and Scandinavia, sails with his son, Harald, and his shield brothers to Rome. Thrown off course by a storm, they follow the route up the Rhine. When Harald hangs back to assist Selia, a beautiful Frisian woman, his path turns perilous. Newfound enemies, retainers of Robert the Devil, Duke of Normandy, pursue them. Harald, Selia, and their companions fail to rendezvous with King Cnute, and are forced to travel cross-country on horseback. If Duke Robert's plan to assassinate Cnute succeeds, an invasion of Engla-lond will follow. Can Harald and Selia reach Rome in time to warn the King?
