Description
About The Book: "Eric Brighteyes" by H. Rider Haggard is an epic Viking saga, unfolding in 10th-century Iceland. It tells the story of Eric Thorgrimursson, known as "Brighteyes," and his passionate quest for the heart of Gudruda the Fair. Gudruda's father, Asmund, an adherent of the old Norse gods, opposes their union, citing Eric's lack of prospects. The narrative is further complicated by the intrigues of Swanhild, Gudruda's half-sister and a sorceress, who covets Eric for herself. Swanhild manipulates chieftain Ospakar Blacktooth to vie for Gudruda, igniting a bitter rivalry between the two men and setting the stage for battles, deceptions, and treacherous conflicts.
