Thirteen-year-old Dane, Ylva, swears revenge when her mother is killed by a three-fingered slaver. Northumbria, 866. Washed ashore on a frozen English beach, Ylva's survived. She will not cry. She's meant to be strong. She's a Viking.
But when her mother dies at the hand of a three-fingered man, and the wolves of the forest circle closer, Ylva will need more than the memory of her mother's stories to stay alive. Can she shape her own legend? Will it end in revenge or is there another way?
NOTE : It is indicated throughout that Ylva is slightly autistic although it is never confirmed or named.
Includes some violence and character deaths, and touches on themes associated with Viking raids such as rape, pillage and taking slaves.
