Book Description
Freydis has been left for dead following a raid by pirates on her father's Viking stronghold. Her brother has been kidnapped - and Freydis's father is hell-bent on revenge. But this is a volatile man who loathes his daughter and is driven by love of his son. Reluctantly he takes Freydis with him on his journey, giving her a slave - Enno - to tend her. As Freydis's father becomes more bitter and cruel, and the hunt for his son becomes increasingly desperate, Freydis and Enno draw closer together. But when battle looms on the hoizon, the bonds of friendship, obedience and loyalty are tested to the limit.
