Smile of the Wolf
A Sunday Times historical Novel of the Year.Tenth-century Iceland. In the midwinter darkness, on the lifeless black soils of a newly settled land, two friends kill a man. Kjaran, an itinerant storyteller, and Gunnar, a once-feared warrior, must make a choice: conceal the deed or confess to it and pay the blood price to the dead man`s brothers. For the right reasons, they make the wrong choice. Kjaran and Gunnar`s fateful decision will leave them fighting for their lives, fighting to retain their humanity as Iceland`s unyielding code of honour ignites a remorseless blood feud that will consume all it touches. “`Smile of the Wolf` bares its fangs from the first page. Like a medieval tapestry, the storytelling is rich with imagery. Readers will be lured spellbound into this lyrical and evocative Icelandic saga. It deserves huge success” David Gilman
