It is a story of love, hate, revenge and courage to stand up for those weaker than yourself. I really enjoyed this story and can't wait to read Foxmask.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior-a Wolfskin-and be honorable in the name of his god, Thor. That chance occurs when his older brother Ulf learns of a magical place across the sea where men with courage could go to conquer a land and earn glory. Eyvind and Ulf set out to find this fabled land, discovering a windswept and barren land of unexpected beauty, hidden treasures and a people who are willing to share their bounty. Eyvind finds young Nessa, seer and princess, and his life changes forever. But someone has come to this new land who is not what he seems. Eyvind's heartfriend Somerled has a secret . . . and the blood oath that bound them in childhood loyalty might just doom Eyvind to kill the only thing he has ever loved. Will honor demand the death of all that Eyvind holds dear?]]>

    <![CDATA[All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior--a Wolfskin--and carry honor out in the name of his fathergod Thor. He can think of no future more glorious. The chance to make it happen is his when his chieftain Ulf is brought the tale of a magical land across the sea, a place where men with courage could go to conquer a land and bring glory to themselves. They set out to find this fabled land, and discover a windswept and barren place, but one filled with unexpected beauty and hidden treasures.... and a people who are willing to share their bounty.Ulf's new settlement begins in harmony with the natives of the isles led by the gentle king Engus. And Eyvind finds a treasure of his own in the young Nessa, niece of the King, seer and princess. His life will change forever as she claims his heart for her own.But someone has come along to this new land who is not what he seems. Somerled, a strange and lonely boy that Eyvind befriended long ago has a secret--and his own plans for the future. The blood oath that they swore in childhood binds them in lifelong loyalty, and Somerled is calling in the debt of honor. What he asks of Eyvind might just doom him to kill the only thing that Evyind has ever truly loved.Will the price of honor create the destruction of all that Eyvind holds dear?]]>

    <![CDATA[All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior--a Wolfskin--and carry honor out in the name of his fathergod Thor. He can think of no future more glorious. The chance to make it happen is his when his chieftain Ulf is brought the tale of a magical land across the sea, a place where men with courage could go to conquer a land and bring glory to themselves. They set out to find this fabled land, and discover a windswept and barren place, but one filled with unexpected beauty and hidden treasures.... and a people who are willing to share their bounty.Ulf's new settlement begins in harmony with the natives of the isles led by the gentle king Engus. And Eyvind finds a treasure of his own in the young Nessa, niece of the King, seer and princess. His life will change forever as she claims his heart for her own.But someone has come along to this new land who is not what he seems. Somerled, a strange and lonely boy that Eyvind befriended long ago has a secret--and his own plans for the future. The blood oath that they swore in childhood binds them in lifelong loyalty, and Somerled is calling in the debt of honor. What he asks of Eyvind might just doom him to kill the only thing that Evyind has ever truly loved.Will the price of honor create the destruction of all that Eyvind holds dear?]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutely Love Juliet's writing style. Eyvind is the epitome of what a Hero is for me. He strives diligently to achieve his goals, he makes mistakes and he anguishes over every decision he makes. He loves passionately and has a real desire to repent and make restitution for his mistakes. <br/>]]></body>

Very dark and sad at points, but weaves itself into this meaningful journey.  wonderful beginning and it was nice to have it told from a male point of view-which is a departure of her usual.  I loved Eyvind's voice and the story told.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Este é o primeiro dos dois volumes que compõem a nova série intitulada A Saga das Ilhas Brilhantes, da aclamada autora do fantástico Juliet Marillier - comummente comparada a Marion Zimmer Bradley. Depois da série Sevenwaters, com a qual recebeu vários prémios internacionais, Marillier recua agora ao tempo dos viquingues. Eyvind sempre desejou ser um grande guerreiro viquingue - um Pele-de-Lobo - mas o seu amigo de infância Somerled tem outros planos para o futuro. Apesar do juramento que fizeram quando crianças, Eyvind e Somerled acabam por seguir caminhos diferentes: o primeiro transforma-se num feroz servidor de Thor e o outro um cortesão erudito. Mas o destino acabará por reuni-los em circunstâncias misteriosas...]]>

    <![CDATA[All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior--a Wolfskin--and carry honor out in the name of his fathergod Thor. He can think of no future more glorious. The chance to make it happen is his when his chieftain Ulf is brought the tale of a magical land across the sea, a place where men with courage could go to conquer a land and bring glory to themselves. They set out to find this fabled land, and discover a windswept and barren place, but one filled with unexpected beauty and hidden treasures.... and a people who are willing to share their bounty.Ulf's new settlement begins in harmony with the natives of the isles led by the gentle king Engus. And Eyvind finds a treasure of his own in the young Nessa, niece of the King, seer and princess. His life will change forever as she claims his heart for her own.But someone has come along to this new land who is not what he seems. Somerled, a strange and lonely boy that Eyvind befriended long ago has a secret--and his own plans for the future. The blood oath that they swore in childhood binds them in lifelong loyalty, and Somerled is calling in the debt of honor. What he asks of Eyvind might just doom him to kill the only thing that Evyind has ever truly loved.Will the price of honor create the destruction of all that Eyvind holds dear?]]>
