Norseman Chief

Halldorr never did get his warm hearth and plump wife. Each time he
came close, Odin, Providence, or Glooskap saw fit to change his path.
Older
now, feeling no wiser, he finds himself in the midst of a new people,
the Beiuthook, a captive demeaned to the point of performing the
drudgery of the village women. But he has fought, bled, and killed in a
life thrust upon him. His mind has adapted to his lot so that he now
longs for the adventure and camaraderie of war.
The Beiuthook have
forever struggled against their more numerous rivals, the Mi’kmaq.
Halldorr arrives at a time when tensions are high with a new, aggressive
sachem controlling the opponents of the Beiuthook.
Will Halldorr’s
experience on the killing fields and aboard the pounding longboats see
that he is returned to a place of honor among men? Or, will he toil his
life away in chaste misery mindlessly scraping at the hide of someone
else’s kill.
Norseman Chief is the final installment of The Norseman
Chronicles, each of which detail the heroic life of Halldorr from the
icy fjords of Greenland, to sweeping battlefields in England, and now to
the foreign shores of Vinland and beyond in what he calls the merki.
