Our story begins in the year 1001 and the toddler, Thorgils Leiffson, son of Leif the Lucky and Thorgunna, arrives on the shores of Brattahlid in Greenland to be brought up in the fostercare of a young womanGudrid. Thorgils is a rootless character of quicksilver intelligence and adaptability. He has inherited his mothers ability of second sight and his destiny lies beyond the imagination of those around him. Virtually orphaned, he is raised by various mentors, who teach him the ancient ways and warn him of the invasion of the White Christ into the land of the Old Gods. Thorgils is guided by a restless quest for adventure and the wanderlust of his favoured god, Odinn. His fortunes take him into many dangerous situations as well as to the brink of death by execution, in battle, disease and shipwreck Packed with wonderfully reimagined Viking sagas and adventures, and fascinating and unique characters, Viking 1: Odinns Child gives historical novel writing a new dimension. 590622 2005 Odinn's Child (Viking Trilogy) total:46|5:13|4:19|3:9|2:4|1:1| 46 177 98 7 4 2 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 21 15:18:10 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 15:21:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 05 02:23:49 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 02:28:40 -0800 2008 1
