A young fur trader will one day dream of becoming king in a land that has never had one.
Svealand, 967 AD.
At sixteen, Rotko, a Tavastian hunter and blacksmith's son, sails to Birka on his first trading voyage, hoping to earn wealth for his family and a future beyond the endless feuds of his homeland.
Years later, Rotko has built wealth and influence through marriage and trade. But when a violent murder shatters everything he has built, his ambitions for kingship collapse in an instant. Branded by suspicion and hunted by the sworn headman of a rival clan, Rotko is forced into a deadly struggle that will drive him across icy waters, shadowed forests, and the shifting alliances of exiled kings.
To survive, Rotko must abandon everything he once believed about honor, family, and kingship, or lose them forever.
Kings Without Lands is the opening novel of The Tavastian Trilogy, an epic Viking Age adventure of ambition, vengeance, and survival. From the forests of ancient Tavastia to Birka and the great rivers of the East, it explores a Viking world rarely seen in historical fiction. Perfect for readers of Bernard Cornwell and lovers of Viking Age historical fiction, it combines authentic history, unforgettable characters, and relentless adventure.
