Beorn the Proud

Paperback - Ages 10-up

The coast of Ireland in the 9th century is the prey of Viking marauders. Young Ness has been taken captive by Beorn, on his first raiding trip with his father’s band of warriors. She must accompany them as they make their way back to Denmark, and so experienced the dangerous tensions and misfortunes that threaten the entire fleet. Her faith in the Christian God - ridiculed by Beorn - helps sustain her during her captivity. But Beorn grows ever prouder and disaster threatens to sweep him, and Ness, away.
