Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Geirmund’s Saga[1] is an official tie-in novel of the video game by the same name by Matthew J. Kirby.[2] 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 Hellskin, 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.

Development

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla received untitled listings in online retailers days before the game of the same name was revealed.[4] A day after the game itself was revealed, fansite AccessTheAnimus reported the name of the novel and revealed its author and preliminary cover art.[2]

Following Ubisoft's first Ubisoft Forward presentation, where the game's release date was announced, the full title of the novel and its premise were revealed.[1]
