Bloody Earth. A novel by Vilborga Davíðsdóttir.


The year is 883. The Norse power in the British Isles is on the decline and Thorstein the Red struggles to hold the ground on Katanes where the natives are becoming increasingly warlike. Life is fleeting and no one knows Urðr's mind. In an instant, Auður Ketilsdóttir stands alone, surrounded by enemies and responsible for young grandsons. The course is set for the island at the end of the world where rivers and lakes are said to teem with fish, glacier caps touch the sky and the earth itself spews fire.


On the southern coast of Iceland, slaves have rebelled and waged a brutal war. The new land is dedicated to blood. Only one person survives the tragedy: a man who must avenge the family of the Dublin King.


Vilborg Davíðsdóttir concludes her trilogy about the settler woman Auður þjúpúðga with Blóðugar jörð, a standalone story about sailing across the ocean. The first two books, Auður and Vígroði, were exceptionally well received by readers and critics, and the first was nominated for the Icelandic Literature Prize.
