Swain the Viking returns once more! DMR Books has already reprinted two volumes of Arthur D. Howden Smith’s critically acclaimed but hard to find historical adventure series, and the third shall appear in early April. In Swain Kingsbane, Swain has thrown his lot in with King Ingi, whose brothers King Sigurd and King Eystein continually intrigue against him. Will Swain be able to end the turmoil and unite all Norway under Ingi? Before one man alone can wear the crown, blood will be spilled, battles will be fought on land and at sea, and Swain will earn the name Kingsbane.

In addition to the title novella, Swain Kingsbane includes the stories “Swain’s Outlawing” and “Swain’s Inlawing,” plus the novel Swain’s Folly. The introduction was provided by pulp expert Doug Ellis. Look for it in early April in trade paperback and digital editions. The fourth and final volume, Swain’s Justice, will be published this summer.

The first two volumes, Swain’s Vengeance and Swain’s Chase, are currently available.
