Where was Viinland? And what happened to the Norse attempt to gain a foothold there after Leif died? The answers are here in "The Battle for Wineland."
An ambitious Norse-American lady dreams of becoming Queen of the Land. She builds a powerful family, clan and allies and becomes the richest and most powerful person in her community. But it is not in Viinland. Worse, she pays for it in blood.
First, she and the Greenland and Iceland adventurers must battle many rivals in their quest to build a profitable trade community amidst hostile Viinland tribes. Leif's son Thorgils is thrust into the role of peacemaker. He must undo the bad reputation the Vikings have earned by their initial aggressive actions with the natives. He must find allies among the constantly warring Indians if his colony is to survive. Where his Greenlanders find success, he will now find rivals in Iceland and potentially Norway, all eager to seize the prize of Wineland the Good.
The battle for the riches of Viinland draw many players into the story. Greed, intrigue and treachery rear their ugly heads in a sea-saw struggle that eventually embroils even the kings and merchant chiefs of far-off Norway. Just as it seems the embattled Norse colonies of Viinland are finally going under after 250 years of strife, help arrives from an unexpected quarter.
