Alynn McNeil has followed her wandering father all over tenth-century Ireland, and she's hoping to settle down after one last move. But when a storm at sea leaves her with nothing but a piece of driftwood and a broken heart, she's grateful to end up on a small island.
At first, the island seems peaceful enough, but Alynn quickly realizes she's in the middle of a battleground. Her arrival escalates tensions between a murderous Norse tribe and a lone monk named Lukas, whose monastery the Norse are intent on raiding. With winter setting in, Lukas trains Alynn to defend herself and St. Anne's Monastery. Where the Norse see an easy target, Alynn sees a home worth killing for--but will she lose her own life while protecting it?
This heartwarming, action-packed, and faith-filled novel is great for readers aged twelve and up. Written by M.J. Piazza. 250 pages. Softcover.
