Ships are being built, swords are being forged. Is that bad? Jack had asked, for his Saxon village had never before seen berserkers. Of course. People don't make ships and swords unless they intend to use them. The year is A.D. 793. In the next months, Jack and his little sister, Lucy, are enslaved by Olaf One-Brow and his fierce young shipmate, Thorgil. With a crow named Bold Heart for mysterious company, they are swept up into an adventure-quest that follows in the spirit of The Lord of the Rings.
