Peer is asked to stand up for truth and justice, while Hilde is asked to develop maturity, responsibility and inner honesty.
The story combines researched Viking culture with Native peoples and folklore in a fictional historical-fantasy setting.
A realistic emotional landscape sits alongside trolls, ghosts, monsters, magic and a frightening supernatural creature during the voyage.
Consider whether the reader would welcome a story described as considerably bloodier and darker than its predecessors, with murder, cruel behaviour, frightening creatures, ghosts, monsters and other supernatural threats.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
