Overview

There are places even the sea cannot go... In coastal Denmark, a young man named Nereus builds a longship and leaves at age eighteen to discover a new, enigmatic land. Faced with unimaginable obstacles, he crosses the North Atlantic, only to be captured by the Skraelings, the Inuit indigenous people who seek revenge on all settlers because of a Great Red Man who murdered many of their family members. A few years later, Nereus is hired by a group of Irish settlers who are fleeing the tyranny of King Henry VIII, and he takes them across the North Atlantic to the New Found Land. A fierce battle ensues against the sea, the Little Ice Age, and the vicious Skraelings. When Nereus falls in love with Laura Hodges, fiancee to the group's leader, William Brockelby, he becomes embroiled in a dangerous love triangle...until the formidable mystery surrounding Captain Nereus H. Shelby is finally revealed.
