Vinland Saga Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) Vol. 07
At a remote farm in Denmark, two visions of the future clash: one of a world without violence, the other of a path to paradise soaked in blood. Will Canute seize Ketil’s land by force, and can Thorfinn stay true to his oath? The violent and complex action epic that inspired the hit anime returns, in premium, 3-in-1, collector’s hardcovers!
Includes volumes 19-21 of the Japanese edition of Vinland Saga and new bonus content.
Since striking out from Iceland, Thorfinn’s crew keeps growing, adding the aspiring sailor Gudrid, a baby, a dog, and the vengeful tinker Hild, but they seems to be getting no closer to selling their cargo in Miklagard, much less making the trek west to Vinland. When the Jomsvikings realize this Thorfinn is the same peerless fighter they once fought against, he emerges against his will as a top candidate to lead the band. Floki, who wants to ensure his grandson wins the power struggle, sends the bloodthirsty Garm after Thorfinn. Before long, this leadership dispute threatens the peace of the entire Baltic Sea, drawing the attention of King Canute…
