The bestselling historical fiction story you have been looking for...

“This book was excellent. I read a lot of historical fiction and can honestly say that this is up there with Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, Christian Cameron, Conn Iggulden and Matthew Harffy.” – Amazon review

” Alaric Longward keeps getting better and better. This is his best work to date and I hope that the next installment in this series comes out soon. He has become one of my favorite authors along side Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow and Wilbur Smith!” – Amazon review

Maroboodus lost Saxa. Hulderic, his father, lost their lands and abandoned his weak-willed brother to fight their loss-maddened uncle alone. The Boat Lord, their powerful relative, wanted them all dead, and he seeks the Draupnir’s Spawn, the ancient family ring.

They were fugitives living amongst their former foes, the Saxons. And the Saxons had problems of their own, and the Goths would be the solution for some of them.

Hulderic’s and Maroboodus’s problems of trust, avoiding and defeating the foes who pursue them, and finding their uncertain path forward will only be solved if Maroboodus learns to control the Bear in himself, the destructive part of his warrior’s soul, and to work under his father’s banner and to obey the will of Hulderic.

That is not to be. Maroboodus still has his own goals, as he hopes to raise the Bear Banner to carve his kingdom in the north, and his father be damned.

Will Maroboodus survive and conquer, and what is the price, should he succeed?

Perfect for those who love the stories of Bernard Cornwell, Colleen McCullough, Simon Scarrow, and Griff Hosker, the Goth Chronicles will take you on an incredible and authentic road through the ancient Germanic lands. We will be following Maroboodus’s relentless pursuit for glory and fame, gained at any cost.

The book contains graphic violence and is not suited for a reader seeking a fast read.

This book was excellent. I read a lot of historical fiction and can honestly say that this is up there with Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, Christian Cameron, Conn Iggulden and Matthew Harffy.

This book was in my to read queue for quite a while. Can’t believe I waited as long as I did. I’m now reading the series straight through and going to start book 3 the minute I finish this paragraph.

Alaric Longward keeps getting better and better. This is his best work to date and I hope that the next installment in this series comes out soon. He has become one of my favorite authors along side Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow and Wilbur Smith.

Not exactly what I expected although a good description of those days were presented. It was somewhat disappointing due the rambling style of the author!
