“Endlessly fascinating, authoritatively informative and, above all, great fun.” —Heather O’Donoghue, Times Literary Supplement

A “brilliantly written, brilliantly conceived” (Tom Holland) history of the Viking Age, from mighty leaders to rebellious teenagers, told through their runes and ruins, games and combs, trash and treasure.
