Die große Mittelalter-Saga von Bestsellerautor Robert Low

Schottland 1314: Seit acht bitteren Jahren regiert Robert the Bruce das Land mit eiserner Hand. Es ist ihm gelungen, fast alle englischen Besatzer zu vertreiben. Doch der lange Krieg hat viele Leben zerstört. Unzählige Männer sind gefallen, Frauen und Kinder sind dahingeschlachtet worden oder hinter Kerkermauern verschwunden. Es bleiben noch drei Festungen mit englischer Besatzung, die Robert niedermachen muss, um den englischen König Edward II. endgültig zu besiegen. Doch Edward, den die Schmach der Niederlage zu neuen Taten treibt, setzt alles daran, Schottland doch noch zu unterwerfen. Auf beiden Seiten sammeln sich die verbliebenen tapferen Krieger zur letzten Schlacht ...

Дорогой китов называли скандинавы морскую ширь, в которую устремлялись их длинные корабли - драккары. По дороге китов уходили в походы и набеги опытные, закаленные воины - и юнцы, мечтавшие о ратных подвигах, богатстве и славе. На дорогу китов вступил и Орм, сын Рерика, примкнувший к Обетному Братству - отряду викингов, спаянному узами общей клятвы. Дорога китов ведет Орма по морю и по суше, через кровь, пот и слезы, через ярость сражений и боль потерь - все это испытания, которые посылает людям Всеотец Один. Добро пожаловать на дорогу китов!

Братство Одина ждет от своего вожака, молодого Орма Торговца, что тот приведет их домой из далекого Миклагарда. Но Орм лишается своего легендарного меча, на рукояти которого рунами вырезана дорога к сокровищам Атли. Меч похитил коварный викинг Старкад, и побратимы отправляются за ним в погоню. Дорога китов пролегает на сей раз по суше - по охваченной распрями Византии и пустыням Ближнего Востока, - но эта суша многократно опаснее морской пучины, недаром ее прозвали Волчьим морем...

Юный ярл Орм по-прежнему возглавляет Обетное Братство – отряд викингов, спаянный узами общей клятвы, принесенной Всеотцу Одину: быть вместе и в мире, и в войне. Его побратимы, казалось бы, остепенились и прочно осели на берегу, но огонь приключений и опасности в их сердцах не угас. И снова они отправляются в поход за проклятым серебром Аттилы, к необъятным просторам Травяного моря. Спокойная жизнь на суше не для побратимов – такая уж у них судьба. Но теперь викинги не одни – вместе с ними из Новгорода идет дружина юного князя Владимира, которому также не терпится добраться до сокровищ великого завоевателя. Чем закончится этот трудный поход?…

The Oathsworn have become feared and respected throughout the Viking world. Their name goes before them and men cower in their presence, but they soon discover that fame comes at a price. While the Oathsworn revel in their newfound glory, Sterki, an old enemy with revenge in his heart, attacks their homestead--the Fjord Elk is sunk, old oar mates die, and the Oathsworn are forced to flee into the mountains. Unaccustomed to losing, the men retreat to lick their wounds. They have been entrusted with the care of Queen Sigrith, pregnant and soon to bear the heir to the crown of Sweden, and though the urge for revenge is strong, Orm's first duty is to protect the queen. He soon realizes that revenge is not the only thing on Sterki's mind; he has joined forces with Styrbjorn, nephew of King Eirik and next in line to the throne--if he can only get rid of the current heir. As the Oathsworn fight to defend themselves and their newfound celebrity and fortune, they're soon to realize that fame isn't all it's cracked up to be.
