As a child, Thorfinn sat at the feet of the great Leif Ericson and thrilled to wild tales of a land far to the west. But his youthful fantasies were shattered by a mercenary raid. Raised by the Vikings who murdered his family, Thorfinn became a terrifying warrior, forever seeking to kill the band’s leader, Askeladd, and avenge his father. Sustaining Thorfinn through his ordeal are his pride in his family and his dreams of a fertile westward land, a land without war or slavery…the land Leif called Vinland. Thorfinn and Einar say goodbye to Snake, Sverkel, Olmar and Pater. Olmar thanks Thorfinn and says he wants to become a man like him someday. After the events of Ketil's farm, Canute stops his plan to confiscate wealth and instead disbands most of his Danish troops, reducing the tax burden on the English and gradually leading them to accept him as their legitimate ruler.

On the knarr, Leif tells Thorfinn and Einar that he will help them in their difficult endeavour to build a country in Vinland, but that first, they will return to Iceland to see Thorfinn's mother Helga and sister Ylva. In December 1018, Thorfinn arrives in Iceland with Leif, Einar and Bug-Eyes, having not been home since the age of six. Thorfinn meets with Ylva first, who does not recognize him. She believes Leif made up the story of running into a grown-up Thorfinn in York some years prior to cheer her and her mother up. Thorfinn goes to see Helga next, who immediately recognizes him. She remarks he has the same eyes as Thors and Thorfinn tearfully apologizes to her. Thorfinn plays with his nephews and his niece until their father, Ari, arrives home and reunites with Thorfinn. Ylva comes home and is angry to see the "imposter" again, but Helga tells her it is really her brother. Thorfinn reaches for a hug, but Ylva punches him and angrily yells at him for not coming home when he was alive all this time.
