Gudrid desires the adventure of the open sea, yet the men in her life tell her that women cannot be sailors. Can Gudrid find a way to freedom? Or will she remain trapped like a bird in chains? The violent and intricate epic drama that inspired the famous anime returns in premium, 3-in-1, hardcover collector's edition volumes!

Includes volumes 16-18 of the Japanese edition of Vinland Saga and new bonus content.

Since childhood, Gudrid has been enchanted by the world beyond the sea, hiding herself on Leif Erikson's ship whenever she had the chance... only to be returned home and told that a good Norwegian woman must protect the home and raise a family. Now, a widow at 19, her marriage approaches when, absentmindedly, she stabs her new husband in the leg on their wedding bed. Gudrid flees on Thorfinn and Leif's ship, but they have a dangerous voyage ahead to fund their ambitions in Vinland. With success (and even survival) uncertain, is there room on the ship for an inexperienced girl, newly married to the son of a fierce landowner?
