Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Eric Brighteyes" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel published in 1891. Set in 10th-century Iceland, it follows Eric Thorgrimursson as he battles to win the hand of Gudruda the Fair against her father's opposition. His quest becomes perilous when Gudruda's half-sister Swanhild, a sorceress who desires Eric for herself, unleashes deadly intrigues and treachery. Written as an early pastiche of saga literature, this epic Viking tale blends violent conflict with Norse mysticism in a doom-laden adventure.
