The Last Shore

THE LAST SHORE The sea does not forget. Neither does it forgive The year is 860. 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. Some journeys change where you live. Others change who you become.

Eirik laid a hand on his son’s shoulder. “You will stay with him for now,” he said. “I will come for you when the time is right.” Leif looked up then, and the fear in his face was plain enough that Eirik did not need to ask what had stopped him. He was not refusing out of stubbornness. He was frightened. Truly frightened. “I will come back,” Eirik said. “You will not be forgotten"
