The Wulfstan Saga

The Wulfstan Saga is an historical novel set in 9th century England and Denmark, when Viking raiders sailed their longships across the North Sea to ravage English villages and towns. On one such raid, a boy named Wulfstan is captured, along with his mother and sister, and taken back to Denmark to be sold as thralls (slaves). The Wulfstan Saga is his story.


He grew up in Denmark as the playmate of a Jarl’s son, named Bjorn. Along with the aristocrat’s son, he learned to fight with a sword and perfected other skills of the battlefield, resulting in a growing and deadly rivalry. Wulfstan eventually returned to England at Jarl Ragnar’s side...and discovered the most difficult of conflicts: to whom he owed his yoyalty. 


On the one hand, he owed his life to the Danish Jarl, who had bought him, saving him from Eastern traders. In time, Jarl Ragnar became like a father to him. In direct conflict, he had fallen in love with an English woman he saved from death during a Viking raid on London. Yet Wulfstan would have to leave her, to attempt a rescue of his mother and sister who remained in Denmark, still slaves to the vicious Danish Jarl who had killed his father.
