Really good stuff! Devoured the book in a single weekend. Knocking off half a star because I was hoping for a bit more romance. Excited to see what the sequels have in store. Action scenes were an absolute highlight—never knew who's biting the dust next. I can totally picture this as a movie.

Map of the story


Svealand, 967 AD.


At just sixteen, Rotko, a skilled Tavastian hunter and son of a blacksmith, sets sail on his maiden voyage alongside his fellow Tavastians, bound for the bustling trading hub of Birka. Their mission: to secure better prices for the prized Tavastian furs.

Years later, having secured a prosperous marriage and established a lucrative fur trade with the influential Swedes, Rotko begins to dream of kingship in his homeland.


Can a trader, hardened by the harsh realities of life, transform into a warrior and, ultimately, a king?


In this martial adventure, characters familiar from medieval sagas and chronicles intertwine, weaving a masterful tapestry of prosperity, betrayals, and sacrifices.


"Kings Without Lands" marks the inception of "The Tavastian Trilogy," a sweeping saga that traverses the rivers and landscapes of the North and East.
