Description
People of the Dawn is the second book in the Viking Slave Trilogy. Steeped in myth and pagan ritual, the Trilogy is Sweden's great saga of the Viking Age. The three volumes in the series ¿ Land of Wooden Gods, People of the Dawn, and Sacrificial Smoke - recount the sensual but often cruel demands of the gods Odin, Thor, and Frey. An epic of warrior chieftains and their slaves, the trilogy tests belief in the Norse Gods while digging deep into the combative world and sacrificial rituals of Old Scandinavia. People of the Dawn follows the struggles of Holme and his lover Ausi. The two hunted fugitives reach the trading town of Birka, thinking they will be safe, but things turn out differently. Jan Fridegard is one of Sweden's foremost authors and Robert Bjork has given us a magnificent new translation. For more information visit www.oldnorse.org
