The story

An inheritance with a few things left unsaid.

Liv’s travels connect distant places and the lives of Leif Erikson, Rollo, Aud the Deep-Minded and Harald Hardrada. Her postcards, maps and keepsakes invite you to look closer. Each discovery brings you a little nearer to what she wanted you to find.
