Produktbeschreibung
THE LAST RAID From the ashes of defeat, a saga is born... In the year 1066, three kings died for one crown. Harald Hardrada, the last great Viking king, leads a massive fleet to claim the English throne. Accompanying him are Tostig Godwinson, the bitter exile betraying his own brother, and young Skorri Ragnarsson, a farmer's son seeking glory in his first campaign. As their ships approach England's shores, none suspect they sail toward the end of an era. The Last Raid tells the forgotten story of the Norse invasion that preceded the Norman Conquest-a pivotal moment when the Viking Age reached its twilight. Through multiple perspectives, this meticulously researched historical novel explores the human reality behind the legendary Battle of Stamford Bridge, where Harald's forces met unexpected disaster at the hands of the English king Harold Godwinson. As survivors struggle to make meaning from the ashes of defeat, the novel examines timeless questions about ambition, brotherhood, fate, and legacy. What separates men from the myths they become? How do we remember those who fell in pursuit of glory? And what remains when legends fade? Richly detailed and emotionally resonant, The Last Raid brings to life a decisive historical turning point through the intimate stories of those who lived it-revealing how even in catastrophic defeat, seeds of meaning and remembrance endure.
