Severn by S.E. Turner

A LEGENDARY KING A POWERFUL WARRIOR A DARK PROMISE Twelve-year-old Severn survives a raid on Orkney, but Magnus, King of the Vikings, hauls him away from his home and back to Norway. Though timid and frightened at first, Severn learns to embrace his new surroundings and grows to become one of the greatest warriors of his time. However, in the struggle between family and loyalty, between personal ambition and commitment, there will be no easy path. But a man with a warrior's courage may be able to find it. Such a man is Severn—warrior by instinct and Viking by nature—he has yet to reach his finest hour. A rousing adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love and battle, as seen through the eyes of a warrior adjusting to a different world.
