Denmark, AD 936. A kingdom is born in fire and blood. From the royal seat at Jelling, King Gorm the Old and Queen Thyra lay the first stones of a dynasty that will shake the North and reach across the sea to claim the throne of England.

The Stones of Gorm launches an epic saga of conquest and betrayal, carrying readers from the fading echoes of the Viking Age into the dawn of the medieval world.

Across the Baltic and North Sea, ambition and power collide. Chieftains rebel, farmsteads burn, and battlefields run red as loyalty and treachery shift with every season. From Denmark's rising power comes the Great Invasion - the storm of Viking armies that descends upon Anglo-Saxon England, a clash that will decide crowns and kingdoms alike.

Behind the warriors stand women of cunning and resolve, shaping destinies in the shadows: queens, mothers, and widows who wield influence through whispered counsel, secret alliances, and ruthless determination. Their choices echo across generations, binding the fate of nations.

Meticulously researched yet told with the sweep of an epic, this novel brings to life the brutal struggle for power that entwined Denmark and England under one crown.

The opening volume in The Blood and the Crown, an eight-book historical series spanning from Gorm the Old to Queen Margrete I, The Stones of Gorm sweeps readers into a world of shifting faith, clashing swords, and relentless ambition - the birth of Europe's oldest monarchy and the empire that rose from it.
