Bergthora's Saga : A Heathen Revenge in a Christian Iceland
Overview
"In 1019, after burying her husband in Greenland, Bergthora Bjornsdottir returns to Iceland to exact her revenge for a violent act she suffered as a young girl. But in her hunger for vengeance she drives Engilborg, the young wife of Egill-a powerful and ruthless chieftain-into the arms of her uncle, Leif, shattering the lives of family and friends in the rural community along Hvamms Fjord. Kjartan, Engilborg's father-who spent 15 years in Constantinople as a Varangian warrior, so he could buy back his family's farm-struggles to protect his family from shame and ruin. Ægileif, a seeress obsessed with Egill, uses her witchcraft in a desperate attempt to win his love while Ostarki, her enigmatic son, seeks to reclaim the moral compass his mother has abandoned."--
