Readers say:

"If you love fantasy authors like Tolkien, G.R.R. Martin, J.K. Rowling with a touch of classic 19th century literature you won't be disappointed by this novel. Love, honor, betrayal, magic, fights for power and for survival captivate the reader from the first to the last page."

"...Vividly described, with a great attention to details and settings. The characters are complex and, contrarily to a popular fantasy trope, can't be divided into good and evil: each point of view is convincingly explained and each main character is trying to do what's right, even if sometimes this has disastrous consequences."

"Paths of the Shadow quickly gathers steam and colour, weaving together a complex set of characters and story arcs that focus on love, loss, and change."

The year is circa 1000 A.D., and the battle between the old Gods and the new is at its height in Norway when the explorer Leif Erikson receives unexpected summons to court. Leif thinks this might be an advantageous opportunity to promote the status of his father's colony in Greenland, but between the intrigues of his sister Freydis, the greedy schemes of the king, and his fatal attraction to the beautiful princess Thorgunna, it becomes uncertain whether he will make it through alive.

Spanning three generations of seafarers, colonists and adventurers, The Greenlanders brings the ancient Icelandic sagas to life and illuminates them from an unexpected angle.
