In Raven 2: Sons of Thunder, Raven and the Wolfpack seek revenge against a Saxon traitor while navigating treacherous waters and facing formidable enemies.
In Raven 2: Sons of Thunder, readers are reintroduced to the fierce Viking warrior Raven and his loyal companions, the Wolfpack. This gripping tale picks up where the first installment, Raven: Blood Eye, left off, as the band of Norsemen embarks on a perilous journey across the sea. Their mission is to track down Ealdred, a Saxon traitor who has betrayed their fellowship and sought refuge with the mighty Frankish Emperor Charlemagne, promising riches and power. As they navigate through treacherous waters, the stakes are high, and the threat of danger looms with every bend of the river they traverse.
Raven, a young warrior with a mysterious past and a blood-tainted eye, has found a sense of belonging among this formidable group. His journey of self-discovery and loyalty unfolds as he proves his mettle in battle, solidifying his place within the Viking brotherhood. Yet, the challenges they face are daunting, as they venture into the heart of a Christian empire that seeks to obliterate their kind. In this brutal and bloody narrative, the line between survival and betrayal becomes increasingly blurred.
Raven 2: Sons of Thunder is not just a tale of revenge; it is a story of friendship, courage, and the relentless pursuit of honor. As Raven's cunning must match his combat skills, readers are drawn into a richly woven tapestry of historical detail, fierce battles, and the indomitable spirit of the Viking age. This second installment promises to keep fans captivated until the very last page.
