A Short Tale From Norse America: Young Ravens & Hidden Blades (The United States of Vinland series)

Two Norse boys, a raft, and some unbroken rules to test.



Join Ulfarr and Brandr in the new Norse settlements west of Greenland, as they do what adventurous boys do best; push boundaries.



Welcome to the early years of Norse America!



***



Young Ravens and Hidden Blades is a standalone short story that reads as a boys adventure tale.



If you have already discovered Colin Taber’s alternate history setting, The United States of Vinland (USV), this short takes place in Markland (what we know as Labrador, around 1000 years ago), and is placed in that timeline midway between USV#1: The Landing and USV#2: Loki’s Rage.



Familiarity with the broader USV series and characters is not required.



This short story is approximately 30 pages long and is a standalone ebook. For paperback readers of USV, this tale will be included in the front of USV#2: Loki’s Rage as bonus material.
