“ A great third book in a wonderful series. Not too long, not too short, just right.This was the fastest I’ve ever read any series not written by either Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian or Christian Cameron. The characters in the story were complex and none of them were perfect. They all had their flaws as well as their motives that made the story tragic and beautiful.” – Amazon review

”As always, fantastic storytelling.” – Amazon review

Maroboodus is riding south.

His father, Hulderic, leads a dogged pursuit to punish his wayward son. Hulderic must capture Maroboodus, the boy he thinks as trustworthy as a wolf, and then he must decide the fate of his son. Maroboodus is not about to let that happen. Holding Drapunir's Spawn, the ancient family ring, and the Head Taker, the equally illustrious sword, supported by his sole companion, and having captured one of his foes, Maroboodus must contemplate on his oaths. After the death of Saxa, he has bled the north.

Only Maino, his cousin, remains alive of his enemies.

And his father protects the man.

Traveling through strange lands, up the rivers for the south, Maroboodus still hopes to make good of his oath, and also to avoid his father's men. Hatching plans, to the dismay of his friend, he seeks to find a land of his own, to become strong and influential enough to keep his enemies out and to find determined men to slay those who would thwart him and those he hates. Stumbling into the conflicts of the Hermanduri, the Scythians, and their intended victims, the Chatti and the Quadi, Maroboodus, sees an opportunity to do all of this. Making oaths to a Hermanduri chief Hermann, he joins in a desperate gamble to claim the lands for his new lord, but to his dismay, there is a party of men working against all of them.

There are Roman traders, and their henchmen, who have goals of their own, and power to see them through.

In the end, Maroboodus must come to terms with his oaths, his father, and the past. To redeem himself, and to spare the lives of those he still hold dear, he must learn patience.

And yet, the call of the wolf is strong.

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.

A great third book in a wonderful series. Not too long, not too short, just right.

This was the fastest I’ve ever read any series not written by either Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian or Christian Cameron. The characters in the story were complex and none of them were perfect. They all had their flaws as well as their motives that made the story tragic and beautiful.

The time period and locations of the books were clearly well researched. I almost felt that if I were dropped in Gothonia at this time, I’d have a chance at survival based on how well Longward articulated the details and life of people in this part of the world at this time.

I have not read the Hraban stories yet but without a doubt will.

I hope that anybody who reads this review orders this book right away. I write reviews for authors that I hope to read more of and hope that my high praise of this series gets Alaric Longward more readers and allows him to write more. I’ll be reading all his work from this point on.

A story not for the faint of heart. But a story that will grab you and not let go.
The books written by Alaric Longward have stayed with me and because of that I've read most of his books several times. He will truly take you back in time to the brutality of the world. Or take you into worlds where the old gods live and die.
The way I see it is with a name such as his, the author, Alaric Longward, I can't help but believe he has lived amongst the Germanic tribes, fought and loved with them. It only makes sense, doesn't it? And so who would know or be able to tell their stories better than the one who lived them?

I think you should write a story about his service in Rome as well as a complete telling of Marobodus during the Hrbran chronicles to see his perspective of all the time events that happened from the oath breaker on

As always, fantastic storytelling. The editing leaves a lot to be desired. If that were cleaned up, this would easily get a 5th star from me.

Looking forward to the next Hraban book. How about a prequel? That would make an interesting story as well. Anyways, thanks again!

Absolutely brilliant final instalment of the Goth Chronicles.
Full of action from start to finish , and so engrossing that I read it in one sitting.
I'm assuming that the author is desperate to wrap up some of his series' as this trilogy could have happily had a fourth instalment , covering Maraboodus's time in Rome , though I guess that can be included in Adawulfs tale .
Keep up the good work 👍

This final book in the Goth Chronicles is just as good as the previous two in the trilogy, and I can't recommend it highly enough, absolutely fantastic!
