The Last Shore

Driven by Tyranny. Bound by Fate.

In 860 AD, the law of the axe rules the North. Eirik asks for nothing more than to work his óðal, the ancestral Danish soil turned by his grandfathers, and to raise his young son, Leif, in the peace of the old gods. But when a ruthless, greedy lord marks Eirik’s fertile yields for his own, their peaceful life is put to the torch. Cast out as a landless exile with winter fast approaching, Eirik faces a brutal choice: starve in the northern snows, or risk everything on the open wave. Forced to leave the shores of Denmark, Eirik crosses the North Sea with nothing but his courage, a handful of loyal companions, and Duke, the faithful hound who has never left his side. England is not the refuge he expected. Ancient kingdoms are divided. Old loyalties are crumbling. New powers are rising. Every mile inland draws Eirik deeper into a land where survival depends on earning the trust of strangers, choosing allies wisely, and facing dangers he never imagined. As whispers spread of a place known only as The Last Shore, the journey becomes far more than a search for a new home. It becomes a test of courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds forged through hardship. Rich in authentic history, unforgettable characters, and sweeping landscapes, The Last Shore is an epic Viking Age adventure for readers of Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy, and Giles Kristian.​ Atlanticbooks Some journeys change where you live.
