Summary

Even as the Vikings invaded, conquered and colonized the North Sea, they did not leave the mainland untouched. They spread outward across Europe in search of land, wealth and glory. A Norse blacksmith befriends a poor girl fallen in with corrupt Christian missionaries only to be banished. In "The Siege of Paris," medieval warfare is seen through the eyes of a simple grunt as a massive army grinds to a halt against the walls of that ancient city. And an isolated Viking settlement on the Volga River falls prey to a violent contagion as the brutal Northern winter descends in "The Plague Widow." Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Rebels, The Massive), with a lineup of acclaimed artists including Riccardo Burchielli (DMZ), Leandro Fernandez (The Old Guard), Simon Gane (They're Not Like Us) and others, brings his modern, stylish sensibility a thousand years into the past. Collecting issues #17, #21-28, #30-34 and #37-40, NORTHLANDERS BOOK 3: THE EUROPEAN SAGA is the third of three volumes chronicling the entire NORTHLANDERS saga!
