A Viking family embarks on a perilous voyage to set up home in a new land, in this comic strip packed with information and adventure.

Meet a brother and sister as they say goodbye to their old home and prepare for adventure. Before they go, there's time for one last lesson in sword fighting, and a final visit to their ancestors at the burial ground. Their grandmother tells them tales of her own seafaring adventures and shows them how to read Norse writing - runes. This comic is filled with details about every aspect of Viking life, interwoven with stories of trolls and vengeful ghosts and legends of gods and monsters.
