In an emotion and action filled story with the power of James Clavell’s Shogun and the scope and grandeur of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Judson Roberts’ Strongbow Saga transports the reader back to the 9th century.
Halfdan, the son of an Irish noblewoman and the Danish chieftain who captured and enslaved her, has grown up a slave in his own father’s household. A cruel twist of fate both frees Halfdan and robs him of the mother he loves, setting him upon the path to a new destiny. But a brutal act of treachery and murder upends Halfdan’s new life, sending him on the run with ruthless hunters hot on his trail.

An epic tale told across five volumes (the fifth and final installment to be released in 2016), the Strongbow Saga follows Halfdan’s quest for justice and vengeance in a vividly drawn story which immerses the reader in the Viking world, and carries them from the Scandinavian homelands to France, Russia, England, and Ireland, through dangerous journeys and fierce battles, through love lost and found.
The story’s setting is not the Viking world you might think you know. The result of almost twenty years of in-depth research, the Strongbow Saga reveals a highly developed culture in which honor was valued more than life itself, a society which was based on a strong belief in the sanctity of the law and the right to individual freedom, which had an impact on western history and culture which is seldom understood or appreciated today.
