Having Viking ancestors himself,Giles Kristian believes that the story of Raven has always been in his blood waiting, like the Norsemen, for the right time to burst upon the world.
Inspired by both his family history and his storytelling heroes, Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden, Giles began writing a thrilling tale of an English boys coming of age amongst a band of marauding warriors from across the grey sea.
Giles currently lives in Leicestershire where he writes full-time, though he enjoys nothing better than working in his family cottage that overlooks the mist-shrouded Norwegian fjords.
