Eric Brighteyes (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by H. Rider Haggard

Overview

In tenth-century Iceland, a Viking hero strives to win the hand of Gudruda the Fair. Duels, a terrific battle at sea, and fatherly objections are paltry obstacles next to Eric’s real foe: Gudruda’s sorceress half-sister Swanhild—who desires Eric for herself. Haggard is at his peak in this 1891swashbuckler, which J. R. R. Tolkien praised.
