The Bloody Hand Saga by David Pilling (6-7)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 mb
Overview: I'm a writer and researcher, addicted to history for as long as I can remember. The medieval era has always held a fascination for me, perhaps because I spent much of my childhood exploring the misted ruins of castles in Wales. I also have an interest in the Byzantine Empire, the post-Roman period in Britain and the British & Irish Civil Wars.
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics
6. The Varangian - “Fight another day and conquer...”
1086 AD. The Roman Emperor, Alexios, has finally overcome the Normans. Yet the war has taken a heavy toll, and left much of his empire in ruins.
Suddenly he is attacked by a host of enemies at once. In Thrace, the heretical sects of the Bogomils and Paulicians rise up against Alexios. Then the Pechenegs, a tribe of ferocious horse-warriors, storm across the Danube river. A vicious pirate, Çaka Bey, threatens the Roman navy.
Trapped between so many fires, Alexios must fight for the empire's very existence. Once again he turns to his loyal Varangian Guard, now led by Thorkell Skaldsson.
The tale of this bloody and brutal time is written by Thorkell, once a bard in the service of Waltheof, the last English earl. In old age, thousands of miles from England, he still mourns the conquest of his homeland. Before he dies, Thorkell has vowed to write the truth...of Duke William, Harold Hardrada and Sweyn of Denmark, of the Emperor Alexios and the mighty city of Micklegarth...of the fall and rise of the English.
The Northman has one last saga to tell...
7. The Dragon - “The vultures will eat your corpses...”
1087 AD. After their victory in Thrace, the emperor Alexios and his trusted warlord, Thorkell Skaldsson, have returned to Constantinople.
Their respite is only brief. Soon word reaches them of Chaka Bey, the feared Dragon Pirate, ravaging the coasts of Anatolia. At the same time the Turks are gathering in force to destroy the imperial garrisons in the east, weakened by decades of civil war.
While Thorkell leads the Roman armies into Anatolia, Alexios sends fleet after fleet against Chaka Bey. Yet they are all destroyed. Then Chaka Bey forms an unholy alliance with a mighty host of invading Pechenegs. Constantinople itself, the Queen of Cities, is threatened by sea and land.
At last the rival hosts face each other in the valley of Levounion. There, in a single battle, the fate of an entire generation will be decided.
