The Saga of Eyvind Arngeirsson

Iceland, AD 935. Eyvind Arngeirsson has no land of his own, but he has a home, a family, and a name worth protecting. When a dispute over land and honor turns violent, Eyvind makes a choice he cannot take back. The law does not care that he believed he was defending his family. He is declared a full outlaw and forced to leave Iceland behind. Exile carries him west into a world of rough seas, unfamiliar shores, Norse-Gaelic settlements, raiding, captivity, and men whose loyalty must be earned. What begins as a fight to survive slowly becomes something larger. Eyvind takes on debts he refuses to forget, makes promises that cost him dearly, and finds himself responsible for people who once had no reason to follow him. And along the road, a one-eyed stranger keeps appearing. The gods are never far from the world Eyvind knows, but their attention offers no simple answers. Thunder can follow courage. A stranger can ask the right question at the worst possible moment. And a man can never be certain whether the path opening before him is a gift, a test, or both. As word of Eyvind's deeds begins to travel farther than he does, he must learn the difference between having a reputation and becoming the man the stories claim him to be. Home still waits beyond the sea, along with unfinished debts, old enemies, and people he refuses to abandon. But returning will take more than anger. The Saga of Eyvind Arngeirsson is a historically grounded Viking Age story of exile, family, faith, honor, violence, and the price of building a name in a world where nothing worth keeping comes without a cost
