Rán's Daughters - Paperback

by Kaitlin Felix (Author)

When a child on the shore waves to their parent as they stand in the beast-prow of a sleek ship of oak, journeying from the fjords of home to a far shore and plunder beyond reckoning, then it is well known that the child goes away from that sight wishing to one day sail the swan-road after them. And often, they do. Still more often, they die in the doing... Gyda Fiskwif and her all-women crew of Viking merchants set out to Al-Andalus only to discover that treachery, rather than treasure, lies in wait. A vengeful fire to reclaim her ship, her treasure, and her crew's freedom sets Gyda on a harrowing journey through Dyflin (Dublin), Jorvik (York), and eventually to the distant Norse settlements of Iceland at the height of the Viking Age. A saga of seasalt, blood, and gold, Ran's Daughters is a female-driven Viking epic like no other.
