The Mistletoe Spear - Stephen Pearl - Bog

Newly returned to Orkney from liberating the Horn of the Kraken, Fjorn and his crew are dispatched by Jarl Erik Blood-Axe on an impossible mission. Spies report that King Aethelstan seeks the spear that slew fair Baldur, which is hidden in the Kingdome of Northumbria. Fjorn's crew must travel through a world locked in Fimbulwinter to face battles that would earn songs in the mead halls of the gods themselves. Where is the elusive Spear of Destiny, and can its guardians be convinced to give it up? What secrets does Jolnir, a newcomer to the group on loan from the guardsmen of Jarl Erik, hold? How can victory be gained when Crusaders and Trolls align to crush the city of Jorvic?
