HE WAS THROWN A BONE. HE TOOK A SHIP.

Thorstein Fjord, 789 AD.

Winter has reduced Halvar Thorstein's household to silence. His son is starving. His fire is dying. Above the frozen fjord, Jarl Kormak feasts while the village survives on scraps.

When Kormak throws an ox bone into the snow as an act of humiliation, Halvar does not bow.

He picks it up.

Then he begins to calculate.

A Danish ship rests heavily at the docks, loaded with grain and salt. Its ropes can be studied. Its guards can be watched. Its gate can be opened.

But stealing enough food to save the village will ignite a conflict that cannot be contained within the fjord.

Across black water, violent storms, and an unfamiliar Saxon coast, Halvar and a handful of northern men are forced to discover what they are willing to sacrifice for survival, freedom, and power.

Bones of the Feast is the first volume of The Viking Blood Saga, a cinematic historical fiction series forged in hunger, loyalty, blood, and the sea.

Every voyage leaves a scar.
Every victory has a price.
And every legend begins with hunger.
