The Mourning Trail — Jay Palmer

Tracking the footprints of Eric, the companions are forced to overcome curses and mystical contests as they retrace the doleful swath of destruction that they caused, to seek a forbidden doorway to the lands of the Norse Gods. The mind of a true warrior is deeply explored. Eric, a champion fighter, is an uncommon soldier of brutal viking raids, wielding sword and shield in an age where armies clash nose-to-nose on savage battlefields. Eric kills for a living, understands war and strategy, and is determined to die the noblest death of all time by pissing off as many kings and noblemen as he can.
