Neither men nor gods will stand in his way...


On the east coast of Ireland thirteen-year old Finn finds the sword of a slain Norseman, and with Odin's raven watching, is given the name Stormcrow. When Finn's family is torn apart by a random act of violence, and the sword lost, he embarks on a quest for revenge with his oldest friend, the shaman Vekel.


It is a path that will lead to the court of the High King of Ireland, Máel Sechnaill, and to the Norse city of Dyflin, ruled by Sigtrygg Silkbeard. Crewing on a longship, Stormcrow raids up and down the Irish coastline, seeking not just riches but vengeance for his murdered father. Against a backdrop of political alliances made and broken, battles won and lost, Stormcrow's life as a Norse raider seems certain until he meets Sigtrygg's new wife.


In the eye of the storm, Stormcrow dices with death yet again.


Only the gods know if he will survive.

Ben Kane

Ben Kane is one of the most hard-working and successful historical writers in the industry. His third book, The Road to Rome, was a Sunday Times number four bestseller, and every title since has been a top ten bestseller. Born in Kenya, Kane moved to Ireland at the age of seven.

After qualifying as a veterinarian, he worked in small animal practice and during the terrible Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in 2001. Despite his veterinary career, he retained a deep love of history; this led him to begin writing.

His first novel, The Forgotten Legion, was published in 2008; since then he has written four series of Roman novels. Kane has walked more than 500 miles in full Roman military gear, including the length of Hadrian's Wall and a long march to Rome.

He has also cycled 1500 miles from Spain to Italy via the Alps, a la Hannibal. During these three epic events, he has raised almost 65,000 for charity. He is active on social media and averages more than fifty events per year. Kane lives in Somerset with his wife and two children.
