@Blaster746
I'm willing to bet the author ends it with some of the settlers returning and some joining with natives. I doubt it's any kind of wiped-out ending.
@Blaster746 Well this is alternate history after all, the real Thorfinn wasn't a child soldier, the bodyguard of Canute the Great, or a slave who worked for years in a farm, so there's a possibility of this expedition going well.
