Join young investigator and shield maiden Alva as she goes a-viking around the medieval world in search of adventure!
Alva clings to her sleeping wolf as the Viking longship pitches and rolls over the North Sea's crashing waves. Soon she will reveal herself as a secret stowaway, but only when there's no chance of turning back. This is her opportunity to put her shield maiden spirit to the test - exploring strange new lands, solving mysteries, and most importantly finding her father . . .
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This sequel starts off not long after where the first ended. Young Ava is yet again seeking adventure, breaking the rules, and is now bolder than ever before. Smuggling herself aboard her father's ship as he sails to Saxon England. She ends up on a mission between the Saxons and the invading Danes, and follows a danger filled path to meet Athelflead, the Lady of the Mercians.
The story is filled with the same wonderful descriptions, beautiful drawings, well-woven history and genuine drama of the first. A worthy sequel and it is such a heart breaking shame Dr Janina wasn't not enabled to complete Ava's story with a third.
