West Oversea by Lars Walker

Father Ailill lies in bed fearing to sleep lest he dream his own death. In his hand is the cause of his woe -- a talisman of great power that grants Ailill visions of the future. Father Ailill knows his duty -- be rid of it, cast the evil thing into the farthest sea.

But when his friend Erling Skjalgsson, the Viking chieftain, relinquishes his lands and power rather than do a dishonorable deed, Ailill is tempted to keep it and use it to help Erling.

And so they sail West Oversea to Greenland, home of Leif Eriksson. Storms and rough seas, and enemies with demonic power lie in wait for them. Their journey will be much longer -- and far stranger -- than they ever dreamed.

"Lars Walker's books are delightful adventures with an undercurrent of commentary on contemporary culture." -- Rev. Paul T. McCain, Concordia Publishing House

"Lars Walker understands the unique Norse mindset at the time of the Vikings' conversion to Christianity... a saga that will keep you on the edge of your chair -- and make you think." -- John A. Eidsmoe, author of Christianity and the Constitution
