The River of Blood (The River of Blood #1)

Something’s angered the Old Gods... 996 A.D. Dark and mysterious forces plague the Volga River, the lifeline of medieval Russia. Countless ships vanish in the dead of night. Many others drift aimlessly down river, their decks stained with blood. Their crews... nowhere to be found. Some believe the river cursed, haunted by spirits of the damned. Powerless against this scourge, a small village enlists the aid of a band of warriors from the North. But as the Northmen sail up river in search of the shadowy source of the terror, the cruelty and depravity the discover force them to question their values, their faith and the very nature of good and evil. A supernatural tale of high adventure and cosmic horror.
