In the firelit hall of a Norwegian chieftain, the story of Ingolf and Leif begins: foster-brothers bound by oath, and of Ingolf’s sister Helga, whom Leif loves. Feuds with neighbours, Viking raids and the search for a new land carry them across the sea to Iceland, where they become its first settlers. Translated from the Danish.
