Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Geirmund's Saga[1] is an official tie-in novel of the video game Assassin's Creed: Valhalla by Matthew J. Kirby[2], with cover art by Jung Gi Kim.[1] The book is an original story that is connected to the events of the game,[3] set around the Viking invasions of England during the late 9th century. It follows the tale of Geirmund Hel-hide, as he proves his worth as a Viking, joining King Guthrum's army.[1]
Kirby had previously written a trilogy of young adult Assassin's Creed novels – Last Descendants – with the final installment, Fate of the Gods, featuring the Vikings of 10th century Scandinavia.
