Congrats to C.J. Adrien!

Hasting the Avenger is back. A huge congrats to our client C.J. Adrien on the release of his latest Viking adventure novel!

The Fell Deeds of Fate is now available on Amazon.

For Hasting the Avenger, fame and glory were supposed to last forever.

Two years after the legendary sack of Paris, Hasting remains haunted—not by his triumph but by the bitter twist of fate that Ragnar’s name made it into the songs of the skalds and not his. Drowning in resentment and drink, he has become a shadow of the warrior he once was. When his wife divorces him, strips him of his wealth, and takes his son, Hasting’s world collapses around him.

Then, a chance reunion with his old comrade Bjorn Ironsides sparks an audacious idea. He will outdo Paris by accomplishing something so grand and unforgettable that the world will never again question his legacy. His target: Miklagard, the Great City of Constantinople.

Driven by a desperate need to prove his worth, Hasting embarks on an epic journey across roiling seas, icy rivers, and untamed lands, rallying old allies and clashing with powerful new rivals. To succeed, Hasting must confront the root of his obsession with immortality and the cost it demands, not only of himself but of those who follow him.

The Fell Deeds of Fate is the first book in The Saga of Hasting the Accursed, a bold, gripping new trilogy that welcomes new readers and fans of the acclaimed Saga of Hasting the Avenger. Whether you're starting fresh or continuing Hasting's story, this Viking epic promises a tale of courage, redemption, and the battles we fight within ourselves.
