In the new Rome, duplicity and death reign supreme.

It's the mid-11th century, and the Byzantine Empire dominates the world. Within the walls of its great capital, Constantinople, treachery, debauchery and power politics are part of the lives of the ruling elite.

Thrust into this mix is the Viking adventurer, Harald Hardrada. In the court of the deranged emperor, Michael the Fifth, danger lurks at every turn, and Harald soon becomes a pawn in the various factions' thirst for power.

Can he survive this dangerous place, and turn his mind towards regaining what is rightfully his?

when I found this book my intention was to find out more historical facts about the varangian guard. So this book didn't help much. It's written in a fast pace and there were all those plots to take the power, but there was a lot of sex and violence. And not the best quality. I am puzzled who should be yhe target audience of this book, some teenage boys or bored housewifes, I don't know... The reading was quite all right but there were weird repetitions. Often the reader would repeat the same phrase twice. I am.not sure if that's a technical issue or that's how thr book is written.

Not exactly a historical novel

The story was about what I expected. It had an okay plot but was lacking in any character development. The audio recording includes a lot of stuttering where one or two words would suddenly be repeated.
