Rampant climate change. Unchecked and self-serving authorities.
Clinging to imported traditions. Thriving but hostile indigenous
tribes. Racism. Starvation. Murder. It is Western Settlement,
Greenland, late fifteenth century, and the Norse colony there is
plagued by all these problems and many more. Green Skies tells
their tale through the eyes of a young farmer named Bjorn Thorsson.
Season after season, from midnight sun to polar night, the
colonists' hardships mount until the settlement's very survival is
in question. Will the Norse be able to limp their way through
another harsh winter? Or will the Inuit finally push them over the
brink? Will Bjorn be able to find peace in his eerily modern
medieval world? Or will he succumb to the despair that haunts his
neighbors and afflicts his nation? Green Skies is a story of the
struggle we all face to survive in a changing world--physically,
certainly, but much more so psychologically.
