The commitment to detailing place and period is most commendable and believable, whether it be Norse Greenland, Madeira or a road leading off into the wilderness. The characters are well fleshed out, within and without. Overall, this is an outstanding book and I look forward to digesting any other writings by these two authors.

Julia and Magnus repeatedly cross each other's paths, and despite their different lifestyles, an awkward and seemingly uncomfortable relationship unfolds.
Chance encounters with an ancient Norse symbol, the Jörmungandr, lead them to Leonard, an alternative doctor with a fascination for Norse history. Using an esoteric method to evoke buried memories, Leonard helps them confront a distant and brutal past, convinced this is the key to catharsis and closure in the present.
The Salt of Ancient Tears is a sweeping, high-concept time-slip story that seamlessly blends elements of Nordic noir, suspense, and romance, weaving together modern times with the enigmatic fate of Eystribygð, the last Viking settlement in Greenland.
Rooted in historical fact, the storyline delves into perhaps Medieval Europe's greatest mystery—the sudden and unexplained disappearance of the entire Norse Greenland population in the early 15th century. As a captivating subplot, the authors present a thought-provoking yet plausible theory explaining the tragic fate of this long-lost Viking settlement.
