Vinland Saga Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) Vol. 04
Amid the chaos of the Viking war for dominance over England, a boy has everything taken from him and vows revenge. But violent dreams bring no peace… The violent and complex action epic that inspired the hit anime returns, in premium, 3-in-1, collector’s hardcovers!
Includes volumes 4-6 of the Japanese edition of Vinland Saga and new bonus content.
A throne room soaked in blood brings Prince Canute a crown and a purpose–the establishment of a paradise on Earth in defiance of God, at any cost–but deprives Thorfinn of everything he’s built his life upon. Now a broken young man, Thorfinn labors far from the battlefield, clearing a forest for his slave master’s farm alongside the amiable Einar. But a sudden and brutal tragedy will shock Thorfinn out of his apathy, and force him to answer the question, “Do I still want to live?” Meanwhile, Canute plots to become ruler of the entire Danish world…
This premium, hardcover edition presents the acclaimed action epic in hardcover, at a bigger size than ever before (7 by 10 inches), wrapped in a black leather-patterned cover with logo stamping. This new edition features all the content of the original release, plus new and exclusive bonus illustrations, interviews, and behind-the-scenes details never before translated.
