Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Raven: Blood Eye by Giles Kristian, read by Philip Stevens.

The first book in a thrilling Viking trilogy that launched the career of acclaimed historical novelist Giles Kristian - who's now confronting the tumult and devastation of the English Civil War in The Bleeding Land.

For two years Osric has lived a simple life, though he is feared and shunned for his mysterious past and blood-red eye. When raiders from across the sea ransack his village, Osric finds himself taken prisoner by their chief, Sigurd the Lucky.

Immersed in the Norsemen's world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a deep bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven. But the Norsemen's world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood and a young man must become a killer to survive....

Let Giles Kristian capture your mind and take you back to the age of vikings with the raven series.
A gripping start to the trilogy which will have you hungering after more like the wolves hunger for glory.

A Good Viking Yarn

The only issue I have with this book is that it was very predictable in parts. Apart from that I found it enjoyable without challenging my brain.

a solid and exciting viking story

this author has been on my radar since I read his fantastic short story, Hellmouth. this book tells the tale of a classic English / Viking story , with a cast of intriguing Norsemen and Saxons alike. there's an interesting backstory surrounding our main character that adds an additional layer, and pulls the influence of the gods trope more centre stage , particularly towards the end. I'm currently on a big viking buzz so this is exactly what I needed . looking forward to finishing the series, the narration is very strong too.

Fantastic first book

I'm glad I read this after the other Sigurd tales. Hes a secondary character, but is older, and I feel I know him better now. I really like Raven, and the narrator is PERFECT!
