Bjarni, in his youthful ardor, accidentally killed a man, and the leader of the Viking settlement gave him a sword and ordered him to leave for five years until the offense was forgotten. It was at the dawn of the tenth century, on Celtic land already conquered by the Vikings. The sword is the pride and honor of a warrior, the breadwinner sword, which led Bjarni from one adventure to another. Serving Onund the Wooden Leg, he learned to keep his word and serve faithfully, and a couple of years later, on an Easter voyage to the island of Iona, the cradle of Celtic Christianity, he recognized the White Christ and became His disciple. Together with Red Thorsten and his retinue, Bjarni reconciled the Vikings with the warlike Picts, and after the death of the leader, he and his wife took a roundabout route full of dangers and returned to their settlement to restart the life of a farmer and warrior. For middle and high school age.
