Book description
Sixteen-year old Redknee never knew his father. Now his uncle is
Jarl and wants Redknee to be a great Viking warrior. But Redknee is
clumsy, and more interested in tracking the wild deer of the forest.
When the young Viking stumbles upon a war-party making for his home,
he must grow up quickly; the brutal Ragnar burns the village, taking
for spoils only a mysterious book. Along with a small band of
survivors, Redknee takes to the seas. Braving fearsome storms and
volcanic islands, bloodthirsty foes and strange new civilizations, the
Vikings soon find themselves far beyond the reckoning of their people.
But why would Ragnar kill so many for a mere book? Will its tales of
faraway lands and riches lead Redknee astray? Or does the book hold
the key to his past ...and his future? V. Campbells' debut novel is a
thrilling tale of action and adventure, of love and loss, and the
power of an unlikely friendship; join Redknee as he seeks out his
destiny on the shores of the Promised Land
V. Campbell is married and lives in Glasgow, where she organises a
literary salon for writers and publishing professionals. Her debut
novel, Viking Gold, is a thrilling teen adventure which will grip
teenage readers.
