Steve Bivans, M.A., A.B.D., is the best-selling author of Vikings, War, and the Fall of the Carolingians; Be a Hobbit, Save the Earth; The End of Fear Itself; and A Ghost of an Idea.
He is a Ph.D. candidate in medieval history at the University of Minnesota, and an expert on military history from the Bronze Age through the Middle Ages, with a focus on the Vikings in France.
When not writing he spends most of his time eating roasted meats, drinking beer, and throwing axes in his backyard in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he lives with his editor & partner, Patience Felt, his step son Duke, Bubble the dog, and two Viking-Pirate kitties: Punkin’ and Squish.
From the author of the best-selling non-fiction book, Vikings, War and the Fall of the Carolingians, comes the sweeping epic saga of Sigurd, Litt Ormr (little dragon), a young man driven from his homeland on a quest for revenge and justice.
Treachery, murder, and sorcery rule the Land of the Franks. From the ashes of the dead, rise smoke and mystery. Blood in the grass… Where are Sigurd and his companions? What fate for Willie and his fiery hound?
885 A.D.
While the flaccid descendants of Charlemagne squabble over table scraps, pagan Northmen ravage the land and its people with sword, axe, and torch: pillaging a path toward the gates of Paris.
A tale of murder and war, revenge and redemption.
A world where magic slumbers in words and in the bones of the earth. Where dreams and reality are forged in the fires of War.
