Product Description
What is Odin's Eye? A Stone Age megalith? A runestone? A warning from the past or an omen for the future? Ben and Maggie find out when they discover a barrow during their seaside break with their uncle and aunt. Exploring the burial chamber Ben finds a Viking sword. They can make nothing of the inscription along its blade but, unbeknown to them, the dead Viking has heirs who know only too well. Aided by the gift of a crucifix from a mysterious smith, Ben finds himself stalked by deadly adversaries both natural and supernatural. Lured out of her way by the sinister Freda, Maggie must find her brother before he pays the ultimate price for discovering the darkest secret of the Dark Ages. Viking myth meets modern-day menace in a chilling climax full of mystery and horror, where folklore lives and the Old Gods still have to die.
From the Author
This story was originally inspired by a visit to the E.
Anglian coast some 30 years ago. I wrote a draft novel then but about a
year ago decided I'd resurrect it and reshape it for the 21st century ! As
an admirer of the stories of M.R. James, I had always wanted to place a
tale of the supernatural within this often very strange and haunted
landscape. Odin's Eye is the result.
