Norse raiders who terrorized Europe. Explorers who reached North America centuries before Columbus. Believers in a pantheon of gods who ruled the sky, the sea, and the underworld.

This is the complete story of the Viking Age: the raids that struck fear across Britain and France, the gods and myths that shaped Norse belief, and the voyages that carried Viking explorers as far as Vinland, on the shores of North America.
