Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From the award winning author of The Lords of The Wind (Gold Medal Winner - Readers' Favorite International Book Awards). Glory is easily won. Being remembered is not. Two years after the sack of Paris, Hasting's name is already fading. Others are praised for victories he helped secure. Flush with wealth and numbed by excess, he drifts into indulgence and decline, his marriage collapsing under the weight of it. Once feared across the rivers of Frankia, he now finds himself isolated, disgraced, and spiralling toward ruin. When an old ally offers him a final chance at greatness, Hasting seizes it. The prize is unlike any he has faced before: Miklagard. Constantinople. The greatest city of the East, whispered about in awe and disbelief among Vikings who have never seen its walls. The journey east is long and unforgiving. From hostile shores to treacherous alliances, Hasting must confront enemies who do not fear his reputation, and rivals who would gladly see him fail. Along the way, old loyalties are tested, past wounds reopen, and the cost of ambition grows heavier with every mile sailed. To claim a place in history, Hasting must decide whether glory alone is worth what it demands of him. Inspired by the true exploits of the Viking warlord Hasting, The Fell Deeds of Fate is the fourth novel in The Saga of Hasting the Avenger, a sweeping historical epic of ambition, legacy, and the cost of being remembered. Endorsed by Kirkus Reviews with their Get it! distinction. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for The Saga of Hasting the Avenger Series ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A wonderful, exciting new adventure filled with danger, ambition, and unexpected twists. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Transported me to the tumultuous world of the Viking Age. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An unforgettable read. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Adrien at his best. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A powerful blend of high-stakes adventure and emotional depth.
