Odin's Game

In "Odin's Game" by Tim Hodkinson, set in AD 916, a young woman escapes the Orkney Isles to protect her unborn child, only to face a sinister prophecy years later that threatens her son. Einar Unnsson, an outlawed Viking from Iceland, seeks refuge with his uncle, the notorious Jarl Thorfinn, and allies with a Norse-Irish princess and fierce warriors in a high-stakes struggle for power over the Irish sea. As Einar navigates treachery and battles, he must learn the true meaning of courage and survival in a world where kings and pawns play their deadly game under the watchful eyes of the gods.
