Synopsis

Embark on an epic voyage through the tumultuous era of Norse exploration and conquest. From their legendary expeditions to distant lands to their fierce battles and enigmatic culture, Theodore Zepher's rich narration brings to life the indomitable spirit of these seafaring warriors in this series Box Set.Contains:Book 1 : VikingsBook 2 : Longships on Restless SeasFew are those that have not heard of the fearsome Vikings and their daring exploits. These Northern seafarers, the scourge of the Middle Ages, left their mark on the world’s history in a grand fashion. Courageous, defiant, and driven by the desire for exploration, the Norsemen were the most feared of all Medieval conquerors. Many thought them invincible, and they held many struggling Christian nations in their sway. From Scotland, England, France, and Ireland, down to the shores of Spain and the Baltic, the Vikings left their undeniable mark. Brutal conquest was not the only tool of their trade: these men were able seafarers and great explorers. Vikings discovered and established colonies in the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and North America. Many agree that they were the first to set foot in the land we know today as Canada. All in all, the Vikings hold a vital role in the history of the world. Who knows how our world would look today if it weren’t for these grand Norsemen?
