Welcome to part 1 of The Saga of Thorstein, Viking’s Son! This is a tale of loyalty, oaths, and friendship. A story of men who strive to survive in a world full of sorcery, battle, and high adventure! Hear of Viking, a warrior who forges the enduring bonds of foster-brotherhood, and of his son Thorstein; defender of his brothers, who test the strength of their father’s words. Jotuns, elves, and dwarves, kings, warriors, and women, what more could we ask for? Part 2 (the conclusion) in two weeks' time!
