About this ebook
The clouds in front of him began to shade over, their airy inscriptions spelling out a message of welcome—or maybe a warning—as the promise of land became clear.
Eydis.
As an accomplished Viking warrior, Sterlig Kyvansson always found a way to get what he wanted—until he wanted Arja Freydottir. After Sterlig is denied the right to marry Arja, he is determined to do anything in his power to claim her as his own—even if it means slaying the dragon that guards the cursed island of Eydis.
With his brother's sword at his side and Arja's hand on the line, Sterlig sets out for Eydis with his friends. When they arrive, they quickly find that the rumors of Eydis are all true, including the irresistible beauty of the Princess of Eydis, Brynja the Bride. With her blessing, Sterlig heads out into battle with the dragon. But near that battle's end, Sterlig discovers the terrifying secret behind Eydis' power. Is it already too late, or can his discovery still make a difference?

In the dark minutes before sunrise, Sterlig leaned over the sides of his father’s knarr, feeling the sleekness of recently hardened tar on the overlapping planks. He glanced down at the water, able to see his reflection clearly, seeing even the smallest details—the brass stubble of his growing beard, the seasoned lines around his eyes, the ones that came from working long days in the fields with his father.
He suddenly grimaced. Thinking of him had been a mistake, he thought. Keyvak Ragnork, his father, would not be happy with him when he got back to Kyvan.
Pushing that unpleasant thought aside, Sterlig tightened a hand around the rope secured between the sea serpent prow and the sails, and looked out into the coming horizon.
He could feel it in his heart, taste it on the
