"Adrien's novel is a well thought out, deeply researched narrative that marries history with young adult fiction. In a time where females are popular among the young adult sector, this male focused novel is a welcome reprieve and appeals to a need for an action packed novel." - Portland Book Review
"A well-written tale with vividly imagined characters." - Trevor Schmidt, author of The Corsair Uprising series.

A great introduction to the characters and times. Young readers will have to pay close attention to follow who is related to whom and how the tribes/nations decide how to connect and who to oppose.
There is religious turbulence not only between the Christians and more primitive theologies.
Young Abriel has his awakening to difficult life at a young age and again before he is fully an adult. He believes he watches his mother being killed, then later meets a spoiled younger brother he had no knowledge of, and who isn't particulaly thrilled to learn of his elder brother Abriel.
Although the times are bloody and turbulent, the men are not afraid to fight, whether for spoils or for entrance to Valhalla.
