Publisher's Note
Recreates the arrival of the Vikings in North America, as rival Greenland women, Freydis and Gudrid, battle each other and the Skraelings and Inuit, the Amerindians they plan to supplant.

Industry Reviews
"Mixes myth, saga, and modern travelogue, to explore the collision of the Norse and Inuit."
San Francisco Chronicle - Paul DuGuid

"A crash course in Norse legend, an account of the author's travels in the Arctic, an Indian view of the war against the Vikings, and a combined Inuit and Micmac Indian creation of myth.... such grand scope makes Gunther Grass and Thomas Pynchon seem like minimalists. Dazzlingly phantasmagoric."
Cleveland Plain Dealer - Gary Lee Slomun

"Imagine a performance of Wagner's 'Ring' cycle directed by Sam Peckinpah, with a new libretto by J. R. R. Tolkien and occasional music by Aaron Copland, and you'll be getting the feel of this ambitious, often enthralling novel."
New York Times Book Review - David Sacks
