About This Book

A party of northern seafarers and their young champions explore Vinland's coasts, encountering indigenous Skraellings, storm‑wrecked figures, and the hazards of a rugged shore. The plot centers on Alrek of the Wind‑Raven and his comrades as a mysterious huntsman, a buried treasure, and contested loyalties provoke hunts, trade ventures, legal bargains, and violent confrontations. Action scenes—sea rescues, elk chases, and forest encounters—alternate with disputes over honor and authority, driving a sequence of misfortunes, disgrace, and risky atonement that examines leadership, camaraderie, and the costs of survival in an untamed frontier.
