A Viking Dystopia: Loki’s Wager

In an alternative version of reality, Britain’s culture and traditions are rooted in the legacy of Norse pagans, the Royal Family are of Scandinavian descent, and Norwegians lead the crusades. In this edition of Historical Fiction, Alice Loxton speaks to Ian Stuart Sharpe at York’s Jorvik Viking Festival about his novel Loki’s Wager, the second in his Vikingverse series, where Norse saga meets science-fiction.
