Vinland Saga 1 by Makoto Yukimura

Vinland Saga 1 by Makoto Yukimura

At the turn of the 11th century, the North Sea is in the grip of the Viking terror. The clever Askeladd leads his small band of mercenaries into London, with the aid of the ruthless young Thorfinn, son of a warrior in the dreaded Jomsvikings. But this is an alliance of convenience: Thorfinn has sworn to kill Askeladd one day to avenge his father's death. When a race begins to capture the prince and secure the rights to the throne, personal grudges will clash with the fate of a kingdom, and blood will be spilled!

“Gripping doesn’t begin to describe Vinland Saga5 stars.” –ICv2

“The art is gorgeous, a combination of beautiful cartooning and realistic backgrounds. Yukimura is also a master of pacing, both in frenetic battle scenes and charged emotional moments.” –Faith Erin Hicks

“Deeply engrossing… If you have any interest at all in Vikings, the Medieval period, or pirates, this is not a series you want to miss.” –Anime News Network

“For those who love Berserk, you’ll love this too.”  –Manga Bookshelf
