Description Eleventh-century Iceland.
About the Author Tim Leach \'s first novel, The Last King of Lydia , was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize..
Set in a world of ice and snow, this is an epic story of exile and revenge, of duels and betrayals, and two friends struggling to survive in a desolate landscape, where honor is the only code that men abide by.
But their decision leads to a brutal feud: one man is outlawed, free to be killed by anyone without consequence; the other remorselessly hunted by the dead man\'s kin.
Kjaran, a traveling poet who trades songs for food and shelter, and Gunnar, a feared warrior, must make a choice: conceal the deed or confess to the crime and pay the blood price to the family.
One night in the darkness of winter, two friends set out on an adventure but end up killing a man.
