A rebellious group of schoolboys defies authority and social norms in this classic exploration of camaraderie, cleverness, and the formative chaos of youth.
In an Age of Fear ...When Berserkers Haunt the Forests of Scandinavia ...A New Terror Rises in the North ... I'm sixteen this year, and my mother says I should marry soon. Loki. I'd already be married if any cheiftains' sons were man enough to have me. When I do find a husband though, I'll inherit the village of Borg, which as the Princess of Lofoten is my birthright. We'll have several farms and command a fleet of viking ships. I'll give birth to mighty warrior sons or a fierce shieldmaiden like myself. And perhaps one day, if it pleases the gods, I'll take my grandfather's place as the Jarl of Hålogaland. That's how things might have been - if my entire life hadn't been a lie. But now the secret's out. Even if I am the last to know. And the truth has awakened something ... something frightening within me. I've always had a temper. There's enough young men with missing teeth who can attest to that. But this? This is different. This rage. This hunger. This intense thirst for blood. It's more than I can control. The worst part? It all makes sense when I learn who my father really is.Zum Buch

What people are saying:A well-written book with all of the depth and sincerity needed to create a sense of cohesion and empathy between the narrative and the characters. A tough look at some harsh realities of the teaching profession, coming at a time when we need an infinite amount of respect and support for our teachers--this book sheds light and reality on that and furthers the discussion of how truly important teachers are to our society and culture at large and how much more support they deserve from us.I enjoyed how the author, J. Michael McGee, introduced his characters and wove in details and care throughout. McGee clearly has experience and passion for the work and that shows through in his writing creating a bridge of connection between author and readers. This book is a relatable one and the kind of triumphant story of the spirit that will never get old.Zum Buch
