Description
THE TAKING SHOREThe Vidarbj¿rn Saga, Book IA land beyond the world. A love too fierce to survive it.In the year 1000 A.D., Leif Erikson sails west from Greenland, chasing the promise of Vinland. At his side is Ranhildr Ketilsdóttir-the only woman on his voyage, flame-haired, iron-willed, and unafraid to follow her own gods.When Leif saves her from the sea, he proclaims his passion and wins her heart. For a season their love blooms. But Leif is a Christian, sworn to bring the Gospel across the waters. Ranhildr belongs to older rites, and will not be belittled.He delays honouring her with marriage. She hardens. He desires her but cannot embrace her faith. And when they finally lie together, their vows fracture-pagan and Christian love colliding in betrayal.In the end, Leif sails for glory, leaving her behind on Vinland's shores. She watches him go, heart broken, unbent.Rooted in the Greenlander Saga and shaped by Norse fatalism, The Taking Shore (The Viðarbj¿rn Saga, Book I) is a tale of passion and betrayal, of gods and men, of love that burns too brightly to endure.
