Beginning with Ketill Flatnose and his daughter Unn the Deep-Minded, who settled Iceland in the ninth century, this saga follows the families of the Laxriver valley across generations. At its heart is the proud Gudrun Osvifsdottir and the foster-brothers Kjartan and Bolli, whose rivalry over her brings the coming of Christianity, broken vows and killing.
