2023 MoCCAArtsFest Award of Excellence Recipient! After
seven years of exile, battle-hardened Hallstein Thordsson returns
home to Iceland, only to find that old wounds haven't healed. His
stepmother Solveig and his half-brother Ottar are besieged by wood
thieves, directed by her unwelcome suitor, Einar. The Exile's
presence disrupts the delicate balance and threatens to tip all of
Iceland into violence. A remarkable decades-spanning epic,
Erik Kriek's The Exile is equal parts action “Western” and
family drama, with a surprising story of violence and consequences
at its core. Told in a naturalistic modern style but with
tremendous fidelity to the historical period in which it is set,
The Exile depicts the Viking age in all of its conflict, turmoil,
and social structure, with every detail depicted vividly on the
page. Hailing from the Netherlands, Kriek is an
internationally-decorated illustrator known for his work on In the
Pines (2015) and Gutsman. Lushly told with gorgeous
traditionally-drawn brush work, and a limited palette illustration
style reminiscent of the great three-color illustrators of the
1940s and 50s, Kriek's art is alternately breezy and gritty, but
always stunning, whether he's depicting a full-blown Viking battle
or a wearying sea voyage. Praise for Erik Kriek's In the
Pines: Murder Ballads (2018)- "...a beautiful and
eerie collection, filled with betrayals, revenge, and exceptional
visual storytelling." - Publishers Weekly "...Kriek’s
work is so lyrical and innate in its study of violence and human
nature..." - Carl Doherty, Shelf Abuse "... a stylish first
outing." - Bookmunch " ...disturbing, macabre, yet
beautiful and is likely to appeal to fans of shows like Twin Peaks
and Hannibal which are known for blending stunning visuals with
twisted storylines. [...] a gorgeous and unusual addition to
your bookshelf." - GeekMom
