Fast-paced and fesity adventure where slave girl turns warrior in
the battle for survival. Hekja is nothing but a slave. The property
of her Viking masters. But one day soon, those masters will live to
see a slave become a heroine: they will live to see her fight
alongside them, for the very survival of the clan. `Hekja's ma was
white with terror and twisted with pain too. She screamed out,
'Run!' That was the last thing she ever said. One of the men - the
largest, with a chin like a cod fish and almost no beard at all -
plunged his sword into her heart, then pulled it out, all bloody.
Hekja screamed. She ran towards her ma's body and knelt down. Her
ma's eyes stared at the sky and there was a froth of blood from her
mouth...' When Hekja's family and friends are killed by Vikings,
she is taken as a slave and carried away to Greenland. But she is
lucky: her mistress Freydis is a kind woman who wishes her no harm.
Fiery determination, intelligence and fleet-footedness soon make
Hekja indispensable to her new owner - as a messenger, an advisor
and a friend. So when Freydis sets off for America with her
husband, Hekja accompanies her, along with the treacherous Viking
lord Finnbogi. There, she finds a forbidden love with a free man.
But this new world holds even greater dangers. Before Hekja can be
free, she has to take a bloody stand alongside her captors: against
the furious natives, but also against enemies closer to home...
