{"product_id":"2940151334525","title":"The Wineland Sagas, Book 1 The Saga of Leif The Lucky","description":"Vikings in North America? Trading with the natives and starting new colonies? Five hundred years before Columbus? Leap aboard young Leif Eiriksson's ship and sail west to the edge of the ocean. Voyage into the great unknown with Leif as he discovers a beautiful but hostile new world he names \"Wineland the Good.\"\u003cbr\u003e     In THE WINELAND SAGAS the author serves up an epic adventure of historical fiction, based on a few known facts about Vikings in North America. Heroic struggles with the natives, some unexpected mystery, all told with a dash of dry Nordic humor unfold in THE WINELAND SAGAS trilogy.\u003cbr\u003e      The main action revolves around the conflict of iron age Vikings and stone age natives. Mother Nature combines with the native tribes to challenge first Leif and then his descendants in an epic battle for survival.\u003cbr\u003e     An underlying theme in the trilogy is the ongoing mystery that surrounds the Viking excursions into pre-Columbian America. Where exactly did they explore? What happened after Leif's initial voyage? Did his followers establish a trading post? Or a colony? How long did this last? \u003cbr\u003e    The WINELAND SAGAS trilogy begins with \"The Saga of Leif the Lucky\" which tells of Leif's attempts to explore and colonize what to the Greenland Norse is a vast, rich new commercial prize.\u003cbr\u003e    In Book Two, \"The Battle for Wineland\" Leif's descendants struggle to maintain their foothold in the New World. Book Three, \"The Last Viking in Wineland\" reveals the unexpected series of events that seal the fate of Leif's Lost Viking colonies in North America. The surprising conclusion is not what conventional thought has led us to believe about this first chapter in the European conquest of America.","brand":"Milton Franson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112928297200,"sku":"2940151334525","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151334525_p0.jpg?v=1764008889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151334525","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
