The Saga of Freydis Eiriksdatter: Landtaker
of Vinland "Freydis was the last of the pagan holdouts
when her half-brother Leif the lucky forced Christianity upon the pagan Greenlanders.
Freydis was a priestess and shaman of the old religion, explorer, adventuring
landtaker in Vinland, berserk warrior who saved settlers from Native American
massacre and the only recorded Viking to conduct several profitable trading
voyages to Vinland. I associate her with the lost Vinland settlement of Norumbega
sought by Verranzano and other later explorers in the area where the Newport
Tower in Rhode Island stands to this day. I link this settlement with efforts
by Pope Gregory the Great to bring all the West under the dictates of Rome and
a crusade to erase all traces of paganism in Vinland."
Dark Sail On the Horizon 'I SHALL HUNT ULF-HEDIN DOWN, by sea-way or land-way, on
the waves or beneath the trees. I shall regain my loved ones. And I shall slay
Ulf-Hedin with the sword Dainsleif, or else die in the attempt. But I shall
not rest until he or I lie dead.'
by Gavin Chappell Part of the Red Daughter Series, Isle Of Shadows involves Vikings, Celts, treasure
quests, trickery and treachery, monsters and myth, in Ireland and the Hebrides
during the early years of the tenth century. The heroine is the semi-mythical
Red Daughter, a shieldmaiden mentioned in the War of the Gaedhil with the Gall,
and possibly referred to in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum. If you would like

contemporary occultism and politics. Pitted against them is a sinister cabal
of Neo-Nazis, black magicians, and corrupt police, intent on resurrecting the
Nazi Party and plunging Europe back into the Dark Ages of World War Two. Armed with courage, defiance, and the mystical
Spear of Lugos, the Travelers are the only people in a position to foil the
sinister plot... But can they prevail against the dark powers of Shamballah
