Settlers swell the ranks of the Norse as they move into the American interior. Yet in their path is a powerful confederation of tribes which challenges their expansion. Eric, son of Svein, wrestles with the religious issues of the New World while trying to navigate the difficulties of leading his people. A new bishop promises him a path forward however to accept the primacy of the Church of Rome would mean destroying the teaching of Sela. It would also kill his relationship with his sister. While he wrestles with these issues the original inhabitants of the New World strike. Eric is forced to respond and war spreads across the North American continent. This book is written in the style of an historical fiction novel and traces the growth of imagined Norse colonies around the area of Newfoundland and The Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
