False God.
At the dawn of the 11th Century in a small Icelandic settlement, these words, daubed in blood, herald the arrival of a killer. Soon, a spate of murders threatens the fragile peace between pagans and a growing Christian minority. Arinbjorn, a young pagan farmer resolves to track down the killer before the community is permanently torn apart. His investigations draw in Freya, an isolated housewife whose secrets could either condemn or free her.
Meanwhile in Norway, King Olaf Tryggvason has his own designs upon Iceland and its people. War is rife in Scandinavia, and a Christian Iceland would bolster his control over the region.
Only one thing is certain: these murders will change Icelandic society forever.
Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Michael Punke.
“Faith of their Fathers vividly depicts a community riven by intolerance during a seismic period in Iceland’s history. Its protagonist, Arinbjorn, is as dogged in his quest for vengeance as many a legendary hero from the old sagas. This well-researched novel explores timeless themes of retribution, security and loyalty—and the price we are willing pay in pursuit of these goals.”—Susan C Wilson, author of The House of Atreus: Clytemnestra's Bind
