Synopsis "Historia de una Cautiva = The Thrall's Tale (in Spanish)"

Katla, hija de una mujer cristiana secuestrada por los vikingos en costas de Irlanda, no conoce mas vida que la del cautiverio. Por ello, cuando su amo decide ir en busca de Groenlandia, la tierra prometida por Erik el Rojo, debe embarcarse junto a el en una travesia plagada de peligros y penalidades, pero que tambien la llevara a descubrir el amor. Una vez alcanzado su destino, no obstante, el cruel hijo de su dueno la deja encinta tras violarla y desfigurarla salvajemente. Fruto de ese episodio nace una nina, Bibrau, a la que Katla rechaza al considerarla una enviada del demonio que siempre le recordara la vejacion que ha sufrido. Es por ello que Bibrau crece muda y taciturna, al cuidado de Thorbjorg, hechicera y sacerdotisa de Odin. Cuando Leif, vastago de Erik el rojo, lleva la fe cristiana a los asentamientos groenlandeses, Katla ve por fin la posibilidad de ser feliz. Pero la caida de Bibrau en los abismos de la magia negra pondra en peligro su sueno e, incluso, la existencia misma de toda la comunidad. / The Thralls Tale is a masterpiece of historical fiction that follows Katla, a slave, her daughter Bibrau, and their mistress Thorbjorg, a prophetess of the Norse god Odin, as they navigate the stormy waters of love, revenge, faith, and deception in the Viking Age settlements of tenthcentury Greenland. Lindberghs lyrical prose captures the tenuousness of lives led on the edge of the known world, the pain of loyalties shattered by Christian conversion, and the deepest desires hidden in the human heart. A book that has appeal for readers of fantasy and romance as well as historical and literary fiction, The Thralls Tale is an absorbing cultural saga researched and written over ten years as Lindbergh immersed herself in the literature, artifacts, and landscape of her characters lives and world.
