The novel Magnus' Saga Beyond Vinland is about a Vikingr named Magnus who leads a journey to North America, or what the Viking's called Vinland.  Once there, he interacts with various Native-American tribes, befriending most while having to fight others.  He teaches his Native-American friends how to smelt iron, enabling them to work with hard metal.  Back in Scandinavia, Magnus's wife serves as a shieldmaiden, defending their village from other Viking raids.

Well of the Dead follows a teenage girl whose family moves into a farmhouse in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The house sits where the Civil War battle of Stones River was fought. Soon she starts having nightmares centered around the old well near the back of the house. Her father is the Athletic Director at the local college and a visiting history professor from Ireland tells him that in Celtic mythology, wells were considered a conduit between our world and the netherworld. The novel transitions between the young girl's nightmares about soldiers' deaths in the battle and her parents trying to find a way to make the dreams stop.
