Fantasy
Swords of Good Men, Snorri Kristjansson’s debut novel,
incorporates the myths that fascinated him as a child with
his passion for epic fantasy. To weary Viking Ulfar Thormodsson, the town of Stenvik is
the penultimate stop on the return leg of a long and
perilous journey. It has been particularly challenging for
Thormodsson, who has been charged with protecting the life
of his high-born cousin. Having traveled the oceans of the
world for two years, all he wants is to go home. But Stenvik
awaits. The small coastal town is home to a colorful array of
individuals, from the beautiful and tragic Lilia, who
captures Thormodsson’s rough heart, to solitary blacksmith
Audun Arngrimsson, whose past hides many dark secrets. The
travel-worn Vikings also discover that King Olav is marching
on Stenvik from the east, determined to bring the White
Christ to the masses at the point of his sword—even as a
host of bloodthirsty raiders led by a mysterious woman sails
from the north. Meanwhile, there is trouble brewing between two of the
town’s competing factions, a conflict that threatens to
sweep all of them, natives and visitors alike, into the jaws
of war. Thormodsson and his companions soon learn that in
this conflict between the old gods and the new, there are
enemies everywhere—outside the walls of Stenvik as well as
within.
