The white-haired stranger Snorri emerges from a frozen wilderness and offers to tell a story to Viking warlord Sven Ravenvedder and his men in exchange for food and water. But the savage warrior drops a noose around Snorri’s neck telling him: “If we like your story, you will live…”
Snorri sings of his life in a story that pits two rival Vikings against each other – Grim and his former right-hand man, Asgeir.
When Grim steals his longboat laden with gold, war-hardened Asgir chases the North Sea to Iceland, then west to the New World.
Asgir’s partner, Irish slave girl Mary, uses her magical powers to track Grim across the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, they find themselves clashing with the Native Americans.
Inspired by the rhyme and rhythm of the great Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, the book’s pages contain all the essential ingredients for a compelling story.
Bloody battles, rivalry, and lust–plus a healthy dose of humor–keep readers engaged from the dedication page to the end of the beautifully written story.
