THE SAGA OF ASBJORN THORLEIKSON
 

A Novel of Vikings in Scotland.  In the latter half of the ninth century A.D., a young Norse warrior is about to accompany his people on his first raid to Britain (Dumbarton Rock in the Kingdom of Alt Clut).  He dreams of glory in battle and returning with tribute from the defeated Britons.  But when his longship is burned and he finds himself trapped in an unfriendly land, his dreams of glory give way to a fight for survival.  When a Norse invasion fleet lands on the shores of his new home, his loyalty to those who spared his life is tested.  Will he remain loyal to his Scottish saviors, or will he side with the invaders he used to call family? 

The Saga of Asbjorn Thorleikson is the recipient of a 2015  Royal Palm Literary Award in the Unpublished Historical Fiction Category.  The Saga of Asbjorn Thorleikson is published by Progressive Rising Phoenix Press in Hardback, Softback, and ebook formats.

The Revised Edition of The Saga of Asbjorn Thorleikson was released in October 2018 and is available in print and ebook formats.
