O knihe

In the land of ice and fire, where the waves of the North Atlantic crash upon rugged shores, Freydis Eiriksdóttir was born into the legendary Viking lineage of Erik the Red. From her earliest years, Freydis was no ordinary woman-defiant, fearless, and driven by the same hunger for discovery that made her family infamous. The Fable of Freydis Eiriksdóttir traces her journey from her stormy birth in Greenland to the bold expeditions that carried her to the edges of the known world. As the daughter of the man who founded the first Norse settlement in Greenland, and sister to Leif Erikson, Freydis was a force of nature. Whether battling the harsh realities of Viking life or navigating treacherous seas in pursuit of new lands, she forged a path not just of survival, but of glory. Follow her as she ventures into the mysterious lands of Vinland, clashing with both the unknown wilderness and her own people. Told with meticulous historical accuracy, this gripping adventure sheds new light on a woman who refused to be bound by the rules of her time. In this captivating retelling, Freydis steps out of the shadow of myth to reclaim her place in Viking history. With a detailed timeline at the end of the book, readers can separate fact from legend, uncovering the truth about one of the most enigmatic figures of the Viking Age. Embark on an epic voyage with Freydis, where every wave crashes with destiny, and the cold winds of the north carry the promise of untold adventure.
