In Axe Lord, the latest gripping chapter of The Bloody Hand Saga, Waltheof Skaldsson must rise from his father’s shadow and forge his own legend in the war-torn Eastern Empire.
After securing the throne for Emperor John the Good, Waltheof now faces a battle for the empire’s very survival. Enemies close in from every side:
- In the east, the Seljuk Turks gather, poised to tear through the empire’s fragile borders.
To the west, the Kingdom of Hungary rises once more, seeking revenge and conquest.
At sea, the Venetian fleet prowls, ready to strike at Roman weakness.
But the greatest threat comes from the north. Backed by the Grand Prince of Kiev, a savage horde of Pechenegs and nomadic raiders surges across the Danube, leaving fire and ruin in their wake.
With the empire on the brink of destruction, the young emperor turns to Waltheof to lead the fight. Outnumbered and outmatched, he must wield his axe and command the empire’s forces—or see it fall to ruin.
AXE LORD (THE BLOODY HAND SAGA BOOK 10) is a thrilling historical epic by David Pilling, acclaimed author of The Champion series, Longsword, Leader of Battles, Reiver, Caesar's Sword, Edward I and Wales, and many more gripping works of historical fiction and nonfiction.
