Description
"Our whole lives are just stories." - Lagertha Siggy and Leif are no longer young and energetic as they used to be. Now that they have a place and family of their own, raising their children has come before all things. Brynjar is the oldest and is eager to go on his first raid. He is strong and skilled with the shield. Practicing with his father since he was a child, Brynjar feels more than ready to prove he can be legendary like his parents and ancestors. Oydis is the youngest and doesn't want to fight. She is clever and imaginative. Her curiosity steers her towards different cultures and places. She wants to sail the world and explore the knowledge of others. Both children want to leave Kattegat. However, their parents don't think they're quite ready. Too anxious and impulsive to think things through, the son and daughter of Siggy and Leif sneak onto a raid and sail to new lands. However, their adventure turns around and they find themselves farther from home than they expected. Frightened and unsure of what to do, Brynjar and Oydis must stick together and find a way to get back to their parents before things get worse. Sequel to Siggy the Shieldmaiden!
