Iceland, 985—When Eirik the Red sailed from Iceland to journey west, everyone knew he was mad. Everyone knew Jörmungandr would swallow him and his crew whole. Everyone lost faith in him, including his wife, who turned to her Christian friends for solace. Everyone gave up on Eirik the Red, except his daughter.
When Eirik went west, so did Brien, the man Freydis loved. But Freydis knew her father's determination to be rich and famous was stronger than any unknown threat from distant waters. So, she began her long wait for her father—and her love.
But the Norns are cunning, and Frigga would have her vengeance. An unexpected twist of chance leads Freydis down a path she never could have imagined. Will she be able to endure as she waits to learn of Brien's fate?
