Kol travels to the sorceress's home, where her grandson, Thorbrand, takes Kol under his wing. Before long Kol discovers something else about himself that is different--something else that sets him apart as unmanly: Kol has fallen in love with another boy.But the world is changing in ways that threaten those who practice the ancient arts. As Kol's new life takes him across the Norse lands, he finds that a new religion is sweeping through them, and King Olaf Tryggvason is hunting down and executing sorcerers. When a decades-old feud forces Thorbrand to choose between Kol and his duty to his kinsman, Kol finds himself cast adrift with only the cryptic messages of an ancient goddess to guide him to his destiny--and possibly to his death. 606 $aOld Norse fiction$7Generated by AI 607 $aIceland$7Generated by AI 615 0$aOld Norse fiction 700 $aErich$b James$01435491 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162668803321 996 $aSeidman$93593070 997 $aUNINA
