Mother of Kings
Poul Anderson
This epic tale based on Norse sagas by the Science Fiction Grand Master"proves that he is indeed a master!" (Robert Jordan, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).
In Mother of Kings, Poul Anderson "brings to life the bloodthirsty Norse as they evolve into the looting, plundering Vikings of popular lore" (Publishers Weekly).

She is able to ensnare as a husband a man she has only seen in visions—the formidable Norse king Eirik Blood-Ax—and bears him nine children. Wielding her magic as a weapon, Gunnhild survives political intrigues and power struggles at Eirik's side, forging a family dynasty that will cement its place in Scandinavian legend and lore . . .
"An unquestionably great work." —Kirkus Reviews
"The genre's guru blends...
