Once A Chieftain, Illustrated, Part 1 in Bloomington, MN

The chieftain Kjartan has brought home another slave to his homestead in Iceland. But this time, rather than the usual female concubine, he's chosen Meshika, a mysterious Radimichian boy from the forests north of Kiev. Set in Viking-Age Iceland, Best-Selling Author Kira Takenouchi's Once A Chieftain explores the constraints societies place on human relations, and what one man is willing to give up to partake in forbidden love. With black and white illustrations.
