Norman Genesis Books in Order

Young Hrolf leaves Dragonheart's service to sail with Jarl Gunnar Thorfinnson. Establishing a home off the Frankish coast brings wealth and the hostility of rival Vikings, forcing Hrolf to prove himself in battles against his own people.

After their jarl and his family are killed, Hrolf's clan struggles with internal division. A raid on Frankia inspires his dream of a new home, but betrayal and Breton attacks threaten the future he hopes to build.

A curse divides Hrolf the Horseman's grandsons as they grow into warriors. Their conflict sends Rollo away from his family to begin again in Norway, where he must build a reputation and find warriors willing to follow him.

Lord Hrolf of Rouen lacks an heir needed to fulfill a prophecy, prompting a journey to Dragonheart's daughter Ylva. Her spell links the family's future to a dangerous campaign toward Paris as Viking ships gather on the Seine.

Rollo holds Rouen, but Breton resentment and hidden enemies threaten his position. Trying to fulfill a prophecy and honor his grandfather's hopes requires more than fighting skill: he must learn to plot against rivals at home and abroad.

Vikings settled on the Cotentin Peninsula refuse to surrender their new home. Raids carry them to Cordoba, Wessex and Aquitaine, while new ships allow the Clan of the Horse to challenge King Louis the Pious for further territory.

After rescuing his grandfather Hrolf, Rollo Ragnvaldsson must find a secure home for his people. Fighting Saxons, Bretons and Franks, he gains fresh allies through Guthrum the Dane as his ambitions increasingly center on the lands around Rouen.

Hrolf the Horseman exploits instability in Frankia to strengthen his lands and secure his son's inheritance. Raids along the Seine expose unreliable allies, while Ragnvald's first experience of command tests the next generation of Viking leadership.

Viking settlers on the Cotentin Peninsula hope for peace with their Frankish neighbors, but an attack forces retaliation. When their allies suffer defeat, the clan faces a concentrated assault on its home and must fight for survival.

Rollo's control of Normandy brings recognition but little security, as neighbouring rulers mistake age for weakness. He must defend his lands and authority while the former Viking settlement begins its transformation into a lasting political power.
