title: Ansgar
author: Layland, Aleksandra
description: This is Section 2 of 2 of the Large Print Edition of "Ansgar: The Struggle of a People. The Triumph of the Heart." (Part I of The Windflower Saga), a multi-genre action/romance/fantasy trilogy. Ansgar, youngest son of King Bogumil of Kimbria, has never visited the southernmost lands of his dukedom. No one lives in the vast Wastelands except a few fishermen, nuns, monks, and the remnants of the Kimbrii people. These original inhabitants of Kimbria were once famous as horsemen and mounted archers but are now on the brink of extinction. Returning to his homeland after several years away, Ansgar journeys directly to the south to search for the Kimbrii but his ship and crew are lost in a storm at sea. Near death he slowly heals at a remote monastery, presumed dead by his family, and still determined to search for the Kimbrii.
