The Runes Of Victory by John Broughton
In 798 AD, the peaceful life of deer herder Deormund is overturned when Vikings arrive to raid the isle of Sceapig. Pursued by the marauders, he kills their chieftain and takes his sword as a trophy, unaware that there is more to the weapon than meets the eye. Compelled by a neighbouring thegn to join his bodyguards, Deormund's prowess increases the leader's respect for him. But after the Vikings attack again, this time on Lyminge Abbey, he is forced to reassess his attitude to life. Tasked by the Archdeacon of Canterbury to defend the island, Deormund prepares to face a fearsome foe. But what power do the inscriptions on the blade have, and why are the Vikings so driven to reclaim it? Set in late 8th century England, The Runes Of Victory is a riveting historical adventure that captures the spirit of the chaotic medieval times. This is the large print edition of The Runes Of Victory, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.John Broughton has been a registered editor at Wikipedia since August 2005, with more than 15,000 edits by the time he wrote this book.
