Ragnvald Eysteinsson is on his way home from a raiding expedition across the North Atlantic when he is betrayed by his captain, Solvi Hunthiofsson, and flung overboard. Rescued by a fisherman, Ragnvald eventually returns home to his beloved sister, Svanhild, who is miserably betrothed to an older man, Thorkell. The source of both their unhappiness is their stepfather, Olaf Ottarsson, who plotted to have Ragnvald killed and Svanhild married off. Exposing his stepfather, Ragnvald goes off to fight alongside Harald Halfdansson, the future king of Norway. At the same time, strong-willed Svanhild finds escape in the form of Solvi, the self-confessed instrument of her brother's betrayal, who takes her as his latest bride. But Solvi is a sworn enemy of Harald, so what will happen when Ragnvald ultimately meets his brother-in-law in combat? 600 00 $a Harald $b I, $c Haarfagre, King of Norway, $d approximately 860-approximately 940 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Norway $x History $y To 1030 $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Stepfathers - Fiction. 650 $a Historical > Historical Fiction 650 $a Fantasy > Mythology 650 $a Adult 651 6 $a NorveÌge $x Histoire $y Jusqu'aÌ 1030 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 600 07 $a Harald $b I, $c Haarfagre, King of Norway, $d approximately 860-approximately 940. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01822820 651 7 $a Norway. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204556 648 7 $a To 1030 $2 fast 655 4 $a Historical fiction 655 4 $a Epic fiction 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921643 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726607 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7310EAF0042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
