The Thrall Of Leif The Lucky (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162710327)

The Thrall Of Leif The Lucky is a historical fiction novel written by Ottilie A. Liljencrantz. The novel is set in the Viking Age and tells the story of Thora, a young woman who is taken captive by Viking raiders and sold into slavery. Thora is purchased by Leif Eriksson, the son of Erik the Red, who is known as ""Leif the Lucky"" due to his successful voyages to Greenland and Vinland. Thora becomes Leif's thrall (slave) and accompanies him on his voyage to Vinland. Along the way, Thora and Leif develop a close relationship, but their happiness is threatened by the dangers of the sea and the hostile indigenous people they encounter in Vinland. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and survival in a harsh and unforgiving world.Egil laughed, a hateful gloating laugh, and settled himself against a tree to see the finish. As Helga's arm was flung up the second time, the thrall leaped upon her and tore the whip from her grasp and broke it in pieces. He would that he might have broken her as well; he thirsted to, --when he caught sight of the laughing Egil, and everything else was blotted out of his vision. Without a sound, but with the animal passion for killing upon his white face, he wheeled and leaped upon the Black One, crushing him, pinioning him against the tree, strangling him with the grip of his hands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
