The Long Way Home
by Michael Murphy


After years away, Ragnar returns to his home of Oslo, Norway, with a pregnant Sayiina. Wanting to retire from sailing, set his roots down, and raise a family, he finds gainful employment as Oslo’s new harbor master. But trouble soon finds him when his authority is challenged by the notorious gangs infesting the docks of Oslo. Unpredictably, his return also reignites an old family feud with a sea witch, and drops Ragnar and Sayiina in the midst of the ancient Norse practice of seidr magic. During these perilous times, Ragnar must fight both sword and sorcery so both he and Sayiina can survive in his native land. Join Ragnar on his final quest to find out where he belongs, a place he can call home.

Michael Murphy uses his life experiences to tell great stories. His lifetime of living on the West Coast, combined with a desire to tell a good story, led to the writing of Kane’s Guest Book, Yakutian Magic, and now the third instalment of his trilogy, The Long Way Home. His love for reading and travel fuels his writing, which builds on themes of personal growth, strength, wisdom, and learning to accept life’s changes. When not writing, Murphy enjoys cycling, walking, and spending time in the outdoors. He lives in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, with his beautiful wife of forty years.
