Thunder God - Paul Watkins

A gripping, acclaimed action-packed Viking epic.

Set in the 10th century, when Viking raids were at their peak, Paul
Watkins spins a tale that covers three continents.
After centuries of ranging unchecked across the northern world, the
fortunes of the Vikings have begun to turn. In this time of violent
change, a young man, struck by lightning, is believed to be marked by
the gods as a keeper of the Norse religion's greatest secret. To save the Norse faith and himself, he embarks upon a
journey that takes him far beyond the boundaries of the known world,
where he must confront not only his own gods but the gods of a people
yet more savage.
