The Silver Of Egill

Iceland

In a bold mix of genres where adventure thriller meets Scandinavian pain, archaeologist Una uncovers a Viking-age silver hoard – possibly Egill's silver, a mythical treasure from the Icelandic sagas. Her husband Thorleifur, a historian who dismisses the sagas as fiction, sees the find as a great threat to his career. As media pressure rises, conspiracy theories, secret societies and buried histories pull their marriage - and their sanity - into a dangerous obsession.
