What’s this?

In 9th-century Ireland, betrayal is paid for in blood. Finn once dreamed of being king—until his treachery shattered his family and plunged him into exile. Now an oath-breaker with a price on his head, he is hunted by Thurgest, the ruthless Viking warlord he betrayed, and despised by the Hibernian kings he must now beg for mercy.

As Finn flees through forests and mountains, his family fights their own battles. Gormlaith, branded a witch, runs for her life through the Wicklow Mountains. Affraic, trapped in the vipers’ nest of a Viking colony, faces a fate worse than death. Each step Finn takes brings execution closer, yet turning back means abandoning those he loves.

Viking Oath Breaker is a brutal, action-driven tale of vengeance, survival, and redemption, where every choice walks the knife-edge between glory and ruin—and blood is the final judge.
