Hammer and Cross. Cross and King. King and Emperor. Harrison G.

The year of the 865th. The warring kings rule the British islands, and the Church rules the kings, mercilessly dealing with everyone who disputes its power. Only formidable Vikings do not be afraid of Christian hierarchs and hold on tightly to their faith. A young blacksmith chef, born of a noble English captive from the leader of the slave-sesta, by the will of fate-and maybe, by the will of pagan gods-becomes an enemy of his own people. A mysterious mentor who is in visions helps him create an previously unprecedented weapon. But this is not enough to win the victory; The chief allies of the chef are his courage and ingenuity. The chef gathers his own kingdom grains and begins the total war - the war of the hammer and the cross.
