What is The Silver Sea about?
A raid on a Viking village leaves 16-year-old Freydis seriously injured and her older brother Toki taken prisoner by the attacking pirates. When their father returns to what is left of the village, he gives Freydis an African slave, who is called Blue Man for his blue-black skin. Freydis and Blue Man are left with a neighboring tribe while her father pursues the pirates. Toki manages to escape, but he, Freydis, and Blue Man are set on a collision course with the pirate king. This engaging historical tale features plenty of rousing adventure and some hard truths about loveboth familial and romantic. There are also passages that encourage readers to be tolerant of cultures other than their own. Golding includes a brief authors note that describes the historical facts at the root of the story and a short glossary that helps with the characters references to Norse mythology. This addition to the growing number of Norse and Viking tales will be enjoyed by fans of Judson Roberts Strongbow Saga or Tim Severins Odinns Child.
