Bloomsbury presents The Wolf's Oath by Tim Hodkinson, read by Rycharde Everley.

This thrilling Viking adventure in the epic Whale Road Chronicles sees outcast prince Einar and his crew take on their most bitter foes.

Einar and the Wolf Coats sail back to the northern realms in order to honour a dying man’s last wish by placing his sword into the hands of his son.

As they get closer to their destination, they encounter a fearsome band of Viking mercenaries. Einar is keen to join forces, but the Wolf Coats are vehemently opposed... until a violent skirmish makes both sides realise they will be stronger together.

First though the Wolf Coats must pass a test: prove themselves to their new allies by discovering the truth behind strange tales of bloodshed in the far north.

Einar soon realises he may have signed up for more than he intended, for he must cross swords with allies of his bitter enemy: Eirik, the Serpent King.

A powerful action-adventure novel perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane and Matthew Harffy.
