The Sea of Trolls

It is A.D. 793. Eleven-year-old Jack lives with his mother, father, and little sister, Lucy, in a coastal Saxon village. Jack’s father apprentices him to the Bard, a man who is rumored to know how to call up the north wind and talk to crows. Throughout the winter the Bard teaches Jack small magics, but he senses that the berserkers from the North will attack in the spring and interrupt the training. Appendix. Bibliography.
