Vinland

Torstein and his family flee westward to escape the revenge of Olaf Tryggvason’s men after the Battle of Svolder. He has become the chieftain of a group of Jomsvikings and is searching for the legendary larch forests on the far side of the ocean. Now he intends to grow wealthy through shipbuilding and create a future for himself and his kin.

But Torstein, the warrior who was once a thrall, will soon have to fight for his life, and for the chance to reunite his family.

Vinland gives us a unique insight into the lives of North America’s first settlers and the conflict that arose between them and the powerful Indigenous tribal societies. Here we also encounter historical figures such as Erik the Red, his daughter Freydis and his son Leif, as well as Earl Eirik Håkonson.
