Excellent adventure story set in Northern Germany during the Roman period. Alaric, the main character, leads a rag-tag band of villagers in a fight for survival. Very well told story and lots of pace and action. The descriptions of the landscapes in the story are wonderful and the action was told really well. Interesting to see how much Alaric changes as a man between the beginning and end of the book. I don’t know if there will be a series based on Alaric but I hope there will be more books about his adventures.

Another well written book of Alaric and the Ravensworn. I would say you should read the first book "Raven" to have a better understanding of who Alaric is and what is being discussed throughout the book. Although, this story has brand new characters so you may be able to gather the story from flashbacks. This book picks up 6 years after the end of book one, but has the same action and drama. There are some fantastic characters and those you love to loathe, as well as touching and emotional spots. This is a great read for both historical and action loving readers.
