    About this ebook

    Viking Blood 3 "Revenge"
    Third book in the series "Viking Blood" by Marianne Slot.

    "Hauge draws his bow and aim at the big moose. The cold air makes his breath come out like clouds. This beast may better not escape! At last they are going to have some proper meat. Even at the recent Yule sacrifice they’d had nothing to offer the Gods but a goat. Their winter supplies had run out much too soon. But then there hadn’t been a great deal of order at the slaughter this last fall, either.
    Hauge aim at the animal’s shoulder holds his breath – and releases the arrow. But just then the scared animal jumps off, the arrow stuck in a hind leg.
    ....."

    Four years has gone and Hauge’s mother Aasa has married Sven, hoping to help him become a better chieftain.

    The dumb slave-girl, Astrid, gives birth in secrecy to a stillborn child. Hauge is shaken when he learns who the father of the child is.

    The men travel to the winter markets in Skiringssal where many a good deal is done. Once again Hauge meets his friend Hannibal. But on their way home they are brutally attacked and many die; among them, Sven.

    Hauge is made chieftain and can finally avenge his father.

    But who is the young beautiful girl, Edwina, who
    was enslaved on a raid in England?

    Author

    Marianne Slot

    Marianne Slot was a teacher for 30 years and is now a full-time writer. Ever since she was a little girl she has been a writer of poems, stories, and fairy tales! She was so addicted to writing that she spent most of her breaks in primary school writing.For years she hid her writings in a drawer, however, after six years of living and teaching in Greenland, she felt compelled to write about the many good, sad, and exciting experiences from that beautiful country. It resulted in eight books about an Inuit boy and his life in a small Greenlandic settlement beneath the Northern Lights. Many children in Danish schools have learned about Greenland through these books. (Published in 1994-95 by Gyldendal, the largest publishing company in Denmark.)This gave her the courage to continue publishing her stories, and a few years later the five books about the brave Viking, Hauge, were published. (The series: "Viking Blood")Since then she has published several books in Danish, the series ‘Prince Salino’, which is a fantasy story, and is currently involved in an international film script/children's book project.She lives with her husband in an old thatched farmhouse in Reersoe, Denmark, a small inlet in an area rich with relics, fortresses, and burial mounds.

      About the Author

      1. Introduction

      Odin rubbed his beard thoughtfully. The humans in Styrbjorn’s village in southern Norway were sending conflicting offerings to the Gods. It wasn’t easy to make sense of what they really wanted.

      So Odin sent for his two ravens, Hugin and Munin. He bade them keep a proper lookout in Styrbjorn’s village.

      The ravens then flew close to the roofs. They rested in the trees or dived for cover amid the cliffs above the village. All the while, they listened and watched.

      When they finally returned to Odin, they reported about life in the small village:

      The humans now lived peacefully, and most of them had almost forgotten the gruesome raid on their village seven years ago. Back then, when the chieftain Styrbjorn and so many others were killed. But now Styrbjorn’s brother, Sven, controls the village with an iron fist. In summertime many of the men now travels to foreign coasts, and return with many a good tale and traded goods; all to the delight of everyone in the village.

      "Is that all? Odin asked grumpily. It sounds as if everything is as it should be. Then why are they sending me these strange offerings?"

      The ravens looked at each other, and stared at the ground abashed. They weren’t quite sure. But here and there strange talk was heard at night in Styrbjorn’s village: Whispered, secretive words; Hard to hear, hard to grasp.

      "You must have heard something!" Odin exclaimed angrily, his patience nearly worn out.

      "Revenge-talk, we heard! Revenge whispered, revenge spoken!" The ravens cawed in unison and shaking their wings.

      "Ahaa! I see, I see, Odin exclaimed. That’s how it is! Well! About time, isn’t it?"

      After pondering lengthily he asked how Styrbjorn's son, young Hauge was faring.

      And
