In this riveting narrative, Lars Brownworth brings to life the age of the Vikings, from the shocking raid on Lindisfarne in 793 to the Vikings' exploration of North America. The Sea Wolves is more than a chronicle of conquest and plunder; it's a saga of traders, explorers, and settlers who ventured from Scandinavia to the edge of the known world. Brownworth introduces us to legendary figures like Leif Erikson, Harald Hardrada, and Erik the Red, while also exploring the sophisticated culture that produced remarkable ships, intricate art, and enduring mythology. This New York Times bestseller captures the spirit of an age when Norse warriors transformed Europe and beyond.
