About
The epic life saga of the tenth-century king of Norway from the British author of The Thirsty Sword and other historical adventures.
Norse history comes alive in this story of a Viking who became a king. Though he had a humble start in life-orphaned as a child and sold into slavery-Olaf became known for bringing the Roman Catholic religion to the early Norwegians.
Olaf's heroic life-from his time in King Valdemar's court to his Viking exploits and battles to his ascension to the throne of his native land-has been heralded in Icelandic sagas. These provided the inspiration for nineteenth-century author Robert Leighton's historical novel of Middle Age valor and glory.
