Captivating Novel!

This well-told saga, chock-full of rich description of its time period, takes the reader on an adventure of surprises at every turn. Based on historical truth, folk tales, and legends, this story of historical fiction mystifies and spurns the reader. For me, a Norwegian through and through, the best part of reading this book was thinking about the possibility of my husband's family (true Irishmen and women and, oh, so proud of it!) possibly being "tainted" with the blood of the Scandinavian Vikings, whom they despised all these years! Seeing the author's name also encouraged me to begin working on my family tree.
