All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior - a Wolfskin - and perform honorable deeds out in the name of his War fathergod, Thor. He can think of no future more glorious. And the chance to make it happen is his when his older brother Ulf is brought the tale of a magical land across the sea, a place where men with courage could go to conquer a land and bring glory to themselves. They set out to find this fabled land and discover a windswept and barren place, but one filled with unexpected beauty and hidden treasures...and a people who are willing to share their bounty.
Ulf's new settlement begins in harmony with the natives of the isles led by the gentle king Engus. And Eyvind finds a treasure of his own in the young Nessa, niece of the king, seer, and princess. His life will change forever as she claims his heart for her own.
But someone has come along to this new land who is not what he seems. Eyvind's heartfriend, Somerled, the strange and lonely boy Eyvind befriended so long ago has a secret - and his own plans for the future. The blood oath that they swore in childhood binds them in lifelong loyalty, and Somerled is calling in the debt of honor. What he asks might just doom Evyind to kill the only thing that he has ever truly loved.
Will the price of honor create the destruction of all that Eyvind holds dear?

So often I’m frustrated by authors who keep the storyline in suspense by preventing their characters from revealing vital and relevant information. I’m always taken out of the story when a character fails to simply speak their mind or share an important detail. It’s not logical and it’s not what human beings do; rather it’s more so a lazy device to keep the plot going without having to create layers within the story line.
Juliette Marillier does not fail us here. Every time a character spoke during a pivotal scene (and there were many) I could physically feel my shoulders drop in relief. All the characters’ thoughts and words mirrored my perception of what people would naturally be feeling in such a moment.
I applaud this author, not just for her imaginative and engaging story, but for her complex characters and intelligent dialogue. However, I didn’t enjoy the Disney Princess conclusion which felt very much like an airport romance novel. But that’s just me, of course, and perhaps some readers really loved that.
Great narration as well! I’m blown away by Saskia’s ability to interpret so many personalities with just one voice.
Hooray for dialogue!
