Welcome to part 1 of The Saga of Thorstein, Viking’s Son! This is a tale of loyalty, oaths, and friendship. A story of men who strive to survive in a world full of sorcery, battle, and high adventure! Hear of Viking, a warrior who forges the enduring bonds of foster-brotherhood, and of his son Thorstein; defender of his brothers, who test the strength of their father’s words. Jotuns, elves, and dwarves, kings, warriors, and women, what more could we ask for? Part 2 (the conclusion) in two weeks' time!

Finn & his men encounter a stranger who leads them on a journey far beyond the land of mortal men, where our hero finds far more than his captive comrades!

This legend tells us of Finn's lost love, Saba, and their son Osian. When our hero loses so much what can possibly heal his heart?

It's been a while since we last heard of the high deeds of Finn, so it is a delight to bring to you today a wonderful legend! This is a story of hope, but for Vivionn who comes so close to freedom, only tragedy awaits.

This might be the concluding episode of the saga, but that does not mean there is a shortage of slayings, raids, burnings, and battles! You will need to listen to find out what happens to Rognvald, Harald and Swein, not to mention other names we have heard of so often throughout the saga. I hope you have enjoyed listening to the adventures of the Earls of Orkney!
