**Erik the Red was born to become legend!
**
Love and destruction, toil and triumph blend in a gripping historical
fiction account of the life of Erik the Red, taking him from the Iceland
into the great unknown as he searches for his place in the world.
Exiled from his homeland of Norway as a boy, Erik Thorvladsson wants
nothing more than to honor his father's legacy and to figure out where
he belongs in the world. But to claim and cultivate his own homestead is
no easy task.
Navigating natural disasters, violent clashes, and banishment, he seeks
his fortunes in an Iceland on the brink of change. But when a conflict
over property erupts into violence, Erik is outlawed from the country
for three years and sets off on his greatest challenge of all.
Assembling a group of settlers, he and his family sail west into
uncertainty, hoping to finally find a green and prosperous land to call
their own.
"A mysterious death and a fantastical curse add light intrigue while
mature sexual situations make this a great crossover novel for adult
readers." Kirkus Reviews
