Part of a series on world myths, this book explores Viking legends, delving into ancient beliefs, Norse gods, and Viking world tales through history, literature, and artifacts.

Chivalry, like the cherry blossom, still thrives in Japan. Though its origins have faded, its moral power lingers, guiding us like distant stars.

After centuries of isolation, Japan opens to the West. Foreign ships threaten Edo, as American missionaries arrive, unaware of their predestined fate. With Lord Genji's prophecy, a remarkable adventure begins as a young nobleman meets a reformed gunslinger and a woman fleeing her own beauty.

Jóhanna’s book provides invaluable information on Norse history and sagas, so much so that she was one of the historical consultants for The Northman.
