It is 1235 AD in Trondheim, Norway, as King Haakon Sigurdsson IV worries what will become of a Viking king without the strength to wage battle or the wisdom to lead. Desperate for answers, he summons a mystical storyteller from Iceland to tell him the sagas of former kings. Soon, Snorri Sturlson arrives at the Norwegian castle to relay the story of King Olaf Tyggvason to the current king with hopes of restoring his belief that he too, can be a noble leader. From the moment he is born into royalty, it seems Olaf is destined for greatness. But when his familys kingdom is overthrown by Earl Haakon, ten-year-old Olaf is captured and sold as a slave by pirates. As Olaf embarks on a coming-of-age journey where he must struggle to regain his kingdom and fight for the woman he loves, he brings word of Christianity to Norway and sends Leif Erickson to discover a new world in 1000 AD. But Olafs determination to recover what he has lost may end up costing him more than he ever imagined. In this novel based on a true story, a Norwegian king sacrifices everything to battle for his kingdom and the heart of his true love, ultimately becoming one of the greatest adventurers the world has ever known.

Where is Adaptation? Mapping cultures, texts, and contexts explores the vast terrain of contemporary adaptation studies and offers a wide variety of answers to the title question in 24 chapters by 29 international practitioners and scholars of adaptation, both eminent and emerging. From insightful self-analyses by practitioners (a novelist, a film director, a comics artist) to analyses of adaptations of place, culture, and identity, the authors brought together in this collection represent a broad cross-section of current work in adaptation studies. From the development of technologies impacting film festivals, to the symbiotic potential of interweaving disability and adaptation studies, censorship, exploring the “glocal,” and an examination of the Association for Adaptation Studies at its 10th anniversary, the original contributions in this volume aim to trace the leading edges of this evolving field.
