About this product

Product Information

"Skeie's account of ruthless conflict, political intrigue, and diplomatic machinations reads like a real-life Game of Thrones --without the dragons. Medieval history buffs will be riveted." --Publishers Weekly Thrilling history provides a new perspective on the Viking-Anglo Saxon conflicts and brings the bloody period vividly to life, perfect for fans of Dan Jones The first major book on Vikings by a Scandinavian author to be published in English, The Wolf Age reframes the struggle for a North Sea empire and puts readers in the mindset of Vikings, providing new insight into their goals, values, and what they chose to live and die for. Tore Skeie ("Norway's Most Important Young Historian") takes readers on a thrilling journey through the bloody shared history of England and Scandinavia, and on across early medieval Europe, from the wild Norwegian fjords to the wealthy cities of Muslim Andalusia. Warfare, plotting, backstabbing and bribery abound as Skeie skillfully weaves sagas and skaldic poetry with breathless dramatization as he entertainingly brings the world of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons to vivid life. In the eleventh century, the rulers of the lands surrounding the North Sea are all hungry for power. To get power they need soldiers, to get soldiers they need silver, and to get silver there is no better way than war and plunder. This vicious cycle draws all the lands of the north into a brutal struggle for supremacy and survival that will shatter kingdoms and forge an empire...

Reviews
'An impressive depiction of the Viking world in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Tore Skeie deploys his scholarship with a light touch, not so much evoking this bygone age as fully inhabiting it' - Michael Jones, author of The Black Prince 'A vivid chronicle of events that shaped the early medieval North, taking a mature and humanising view of who the Vikings really were: major power players on a European stage. Tore Skeie's book has won awards in Norway, and it's easy to see why. This is exemplary popular history' - Neil Price, author of The Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings 'The first major book on the Vikings by a Scandinavian author to be published in English. Focusing on a period of about 30 years after the turn of the first millennium, Skeie constructs a pacy, dramatic account of an extraordinary period in European history... a properly absorbing page-turner... a truly excellent book' - The New European 'Gripping and compelling. This is the story of Medieval Europe and its neighbours like it has never been told before where there's no hero nor villain, just men fighting for power and glory. Skeie masterfully tells their complex stories and brings these men back to life' - Estelle Paranque 'Shows how intimately our nation's early history was bound up with that of Scandinavia' - The Bookseller, "The turbulent [Second Viking Age] that straddles the first millennium is brought to life in a history worthy of a modern television epic." -- Financial Times
