"Anja Freydisdottir has always heard whispers of her mother's adventures in Vinland. All she longs for is to spread her wings and follow them but she's trapped by the expectations of 11th-century society. Liberation comes from an unexpected source when she is helped to flee across the Atlantic on a Viking longboat bound for Vinland shores. Haunted by the ominous shadows of a family history she does not know, Anja must seek a perilous path into an unfamiliar wilderness to find her answers..."--Publisher

On Vinland shores Anja and Bjorn have just settled into a new life in Leifsbidur when a Beothuk warrior pursues revenge. The couple soon find themselves at the mercy of the helmsman, Karl Karlsefni, whose dealings with the Beothuks serve only to incense animosities and threaten Viking lives. When Bjorn undertakes the impossible and risks everything to protect those he has come to call family, Anja must confront peril. Amid death and danger, two honourable souls are forced to examine their own potential for evil in a desperate bid for survival.
