Freydis

An Epic Nordic Novel (Daughters of Freya, Book 1)

By: Gunhild Haugnes

Narrated by: Lillian Rachel

Freydis Eiriksdatter, one of the most remarkable women of the Viking age, leads a harsh life amongst the towering cliffs and great glaciers of Greenland.

She has the warrior spirit of her father, Eirik the Red, and as Christianity conquers Greenland, she continues to worship the old Norse gods.

Like her brother, Leif Eiriksson, she’s cursed with an adventurer’s soul. Her biggest desire is to become a legendary explorer. Driven by ambition, curiosity—a restless hunger for more—she sets out on a hazardous voyage to Vinland.

But amidst the perils and brutality of nature, her biggest obstacle is rudimentary…

In the year 1080, an explorer can never be a woman.

Freydis is the first book in the standalone Series "Daughters of Freya" which will be a total of seven books—all Epic Tales inspired by true events in Nordic history.

Epic character and great storytelling

Great story from Viking history. I hope there are more to come in daughters of Freya. It would have even been better had they included more from her early years.
