Why read it?

1 author picked The Whale Road as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The descriptions of Vikings in this book are unique to others in the Viking Historical Fiction genre.

The Whale Road is the first in the Oathsworn series, and I would advise any fan of Viking novels to give this one a try.
