This saga continues on the shores of Vinland, where Anja and Bjorn settle. Their love is disturbed by a local warrior who seeks revenge. Bjorn must find the best solution to protect the woman he loves. When Karl Karlsefni arrives on one of the Viking ships that survive the journey via Greenland, Bjorn sees an opportunity. Anja, on the other hand, sees danger. She made the escape from Greenland, and it brings the past she tried to escape so badly.
The first two books involve strong female characters, first Anja’s mother, then Anja. Book 3 is told through the eyes of a man who loves Anja, and is her protector. This love story is about two people who care deeply about each other and will do anything to protect each other in surroundings that are tough to endure.
Their story is set against the historical background of two tribes, the Norse and the Beothuk, with their interaction, mistreatment and survival in a harsh climate.
This gripping adventure has a fast pace. The lyrical prose gives dimensions to love which two people eagerly try to protect.
This book could be read as a stand-alone. As the story progresses, it weaves in the backstories of the main characters. I highly recommend the first two books if you enjoy strong female characters, which I missed in this story. As a result, I didn’t feel as strong connection to this story as the previous two.
