To save his chiefdom, Sigve must convince the Bitch Queen he
is the man to support.
The Bitch Queen was one of many names for Queen Gunnhild, also called Mother
of Kings. Gunnhild was married to Eirik Bloodaxe, who was King of Norway and King
of York. She was a cunning woman, a practitioner of seid and black magic, exceptionally
beautiful, and, according to legend, after King Eirik's death she developed an
insatiable appetite for young men.
In this fourth book in The Viking Series, the saga of Sigve the Awful continues.
An old enemy of Sigve's family returns to Norway from his exile in Northumbria.
Kalv Kolson arrives with his son, Einar, who leads a fierce band of warriors.
When Sigve learns about their arrival, he decides to eradicate Kalv, Einar, and
the rest of the family – wives, children, and all.
Einar, however, is a good friend of Harald, Queen Gunnhild's son. Harald
is King of Norway, and he has promised Einar his support. For Sigve it is
crucial to make the king change his mind and help him instead. But, as everyone
knows, the will of the king can only be moved through Gunnhild, who exerts
great power over her son. Among people in the country, there is a saying that
“Norway is ruled by the queen's cunt.”
In order to achieve his goal, Sigve sets out to meet Queen
Gunnhild. The result of their meeting is uncertain. In every way, the Bitch
Queen is hard to satisfy.
