From the backcover: "All young Eyvind ever wanted was to become a great Viking warrior - a Wolfskin - and carry honour out in the name of his fathergod Thor. The chance to make it happen is his when his chieftain Ulf brought the tale of a magical land across the sea 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 - and to him Eyvind swore a childhood oath of lifelong loyalty. Now he´s calling in the debt of honour, but what he asks of Eyvind might just doom him to kill the only thing that Eyvind has ever truly loved.
Will the price of honour create the destruction of all that Eyvind holds dear?"

This book was recommended to me by someone years ago and I bought this book then, but never got to read it. Because of the Alphabet challenge in Finnish forum I had to find a book beginning with "W", and so I finally took this book from my shelf and started reading. And I´m so glad I did as I liked this book a lot and it was easy English to read and follow. The story was captive and thrilling with history, excitement, fear and love. It had all the elements I look for in a good story and I´m almost sad the book ended. Luckily there´s a second part to it.

This book was sent by mail to someone who had this book on her wishlist. Enjoyable reading :)!

Thanks a lot for this book Pikkis! It was the 5th oldest wishlist book on my list, so I've been waiting for it about eight years now. :) Still hoping to get the sequel, too, one day...
