Eric Brighteyes: In this thrilling adventure, a stout Icelandic yeoman, Eric Thorgrimurs' son "Brighteyes" struggles to win the hand of Gudruda the Fair, despite the opposition of her half-sister, Swanhild the Fatherless (who seeks Eric for her own). Caught between these two beautiful women and faced with the need to overcome the opposition of Gudruda's father, our hero must prove himself worthy of his bride. A Witch's...: Exiled from Iceland, his beloved home, for killing Blacktooth's son, Eric was doomed to outlawry--forced into viking for three years. Together with Whitefire, the legendary sword with the golden hilt, and Skallagrim, his trusted berserk companion, he sailed forth on the Gudruda, named for the woman he loved and destined because of it, to be his destruction. The Wanderer's...:Visions of a past life given to a fictional modern observer provide the material for The Wanderer's Necklace. The English reincarnation of a Norse warrior describes his early passions and trials in the marshes of Denmark, his confrontations with Odin, his service in the court of Byzantium and the mysteries of ancient Egypt.
