ICELAND, 982 A.D. A SHIP OF OUTLAWS. A WOMAN, ALONE. Dangerous seas…and even more dangerous secrets on board. Iceland’s powerful Althing Council has convicted Viking Tiller Thorvaldsson of murder - to force him on a ship for a perilous quest in search of a legendary land, said to lie in uncharted western seas. A mysterious woman aboard, called only ‘Fishgirl’, tells Tiller a terrible secret: that she, too was forced aboard, to serve as a human sacrifice…but can he trust her?
Based on the saga of Erik the Red, this fast-paced and meticulously researched novel brings authentic storytelling to complex, strong-willed characters and an iconic event in history: an epic journey of murder, love, and courage in a battle for survival between the dark forces of intrigue and the redemptive power of the human spirit.
Will finding land offer hope…or bring them even greater danger?
