c. 1000 CE: Erik the Red's daughter heads south from Greenland. 1492: Columbus does not discover America. 1531: The Incas invade Europe. Freydis is the leader of a band of Viking warriors who get as far as Panama. Nobody knows what became of them. Five hundred years later, Christopher Columbus is sailing for the Americas, dreaming of gold and conquest. Even when captured, his faith in his mission is unshaken. Thirty-nine years after that, Atahualpa, the last Inca emporer, arrives in a Europe ready for revolution. Fortunately, he has a recent guidebook to acquiring power, Machiavelli's The Prince. So, the stage is set for a Europe ruled by Incas and, when the Aztecs arrive on the scene, for a great war that will change history forever.
