Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Robert Michael Ballantyne, the Scottish master of the adventure genre for young people


First published in 1872, "The Norsemen in the West" (AKA The Norsemen in the West, or America Before Columbus) is a historical and adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Michael Ballantyne.

In "The Norsemen in the West," Ballantyne transforms into engaging historical fiction the well-known facts of the Icelandic Saga -stories of exploration and adventure, blessed marriage, alternating turmoil and peace with indigenous people- all sprinkled with delightful and humorous stories of day-to-day life surrounding the first European ground breaking in America.
The novel carries readers back nearly a thousand years in time, to the days of Leif Ericsson and the early settlements of the seafaring Norsemen. Journey from the shores of Greenland to earliest-recorded America, a plentiful land of lush forests, crystal clear lakes and rivers and abundant fish and game.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    The #1 Bestselling series!
    
    CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS is book #13 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
    
    In CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS, Kyra and Kyle return to a realm being systematically transformed by Queen Isolde's final, desperate assault. As entire regions crystallize under her relentless magic, they race to convince their children of a truth both profound and dangerous—only by working together can the twins break the curse that has plagued the lands for centuries. But Lyra, now commanding her own crystalline army, remains convinced that her path alone will lead to victory, while Kael attempts to reach his sister through their twin bond rather than direct confrontation.
    
    The resistance makes its last stand by striking deep into enemy territory while Kavos unites the mountain kingdoms into a final alliance, creating sanctuary for those fleeing Isolde's advancing crystallization. Meanwhile, Maven—carrying fragments of both twins' essences within her created form—emerges as an unexpected key to their reconciliation. As the realm teeters on the edge of complete transformation, the first seed of doubt is planted in a heart that has grown increasingly convinced of its own righteousness.
    
    With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
