Iron Heart

ONE VIKING IN THE ROYAL CITY OF THE FRANKS AND A SUMMER WAR NO ONE EXPECTED…

Mercenary, brawler, and adventurer Harald knows that even when things go wrong, he's good at what he does. Sometimes so good it's comical, but there's nothing to laugh about here.

The first problem is an unwanted entanglement in politics, something Harald usually avoids like a Viking avoids a cross. But when the politics are balanced by a more-than-pleasant reward for an interesting job, Harald’s own curiosity betrays him. Moorish ambassadors only go missing once in a lifetime, and what would break another man's back, Harald takes as a challenge.

The second problem is the fulfilment of dark premonitions. What initially seemed like an interesting investigation in the streets of summer Paris turns into a nightmare of flames, pain, and difficult decisions over the course of two hot, tense, and extremely hectic days.

Nothing comes for free, and Harald must walk over dead bodies, because to be left behind by a world that is changing faster than anyone realises means only one thing: a quick death.

“When Harald takes on Paris, there’s a lot of trouble. Iron Heart is a top-notch and suitably gritty heroic fantasy.” – PEVNOST
