Christopher Sikes

Christopher Sikes writes historical fantasy shaped by Norse history, legend, family, and the cost of leadership.

The Halfdan Chronicles follows a warrior-poet through exile, war, the burdens of leadership, and the return of forces once confined to old stories. At the center of the series are the people Halfdan loves and the choices he makes to protect them.

His approach places story first while grounding the world in the beliefs of the Viking Age. In Halfdan’s world, gods watch, fate leaves signs, and the supernatural feels real because the people living through these events believe it is real.

Across the series, Christopher explores the bonds between brothers, perseverance through loss, and the price leaders pay for the lives placed in their care.
