The salt spray of the North Atlantic bites at the air as Freydís Eiríksdóttir stands firm on the deck, a daughter of Erik the Red. Her eyes scan the horizon toward Vinland, where her brother Leif Erikson made first contact. She is no mere passenger; she is a colonist driven by prestige and wealth. The sagas whisper of her strength, a figure of prominence in Norse exploration, ready to face the unknown with the resolve of the Greenlanders.
