About this Event
Culture Club and Roe River books are delighted to welcome international bestselling author Ben Kane to Dundalk to launch his latest historical novel - Stormcrow, described as a 'gripping, bloodthirsty and epic Viking adventure.' He will be in-store to talk about his new epic on Monday May 27th at 7.00pm.
This will be a very special event as Ben spent most of his childhood in Castlebellingham and was educated in Dundalk.
About the Book
On the east coast of Ireland thirteen-year old Finn finds the sword of a slain Norseman, and with Odin’s raven watching, is given the name Stormcrow. When Finn’s family is torn apart by a random act of violence, and the sword lost, he embarks on a quest for revenge with his oldest friend, the shaman Vekel.
It is a path that will lead to the court of the High King of Ireland, Máel Sechnaill, and to the Norse city of Dyflin, ruled by Sigtrygg Silkbeard. Crewing on a longship, Stormcrow raids up and down the Irish coastline, seeking not just riches but vengeance for his murdered father. Against a backdrop of political alliances made and broken, battles won and lost, Stormcrow’s life as a Norse raider seems certain until he meets Sigtrygg’s new wife.
In the eye of the storm, Stormcrow dices with death yet again.
Only the gods know if he will survive.
