King Hereafter

£14.99

Set in eleventh century Orkney. A young man, Thorfinn, launches a bid to be ruler of a united Scotland in a time of war.

By Dorothy Dunnett

Description

It is the eleventh century and in the isles of Orkney a young boy is born. He is named Thorfinn, baptized as Macbeth. To the north are the warring Vikings and south lies Alba – the Scottish mainland. Orkney is the prize in between, and an unlikely place from which a young man might launch a bid to be ruler of a united Scotland. 

Yet Thorfinn is unlike other men. He has a warrior’s courage and the wiliness of the underdog. By his side stands his wife, Groa, as shrewd and valiant as her husband. Together they will navigate the treacherous waters of the new millennium, uniting a divided nation and birthing a legend that will survive a thousnad years.

Thorfinn Macbeth wil be King Hereafter…
