The Eye of the Viking God: Norway, 793 CE: Fleece was snatched by Viking warriors when she was a young girl. Now she must work for a bullying farmer and his family, looking after their sheep.

The Battle for the Viking Gold: Whitby, Northern England, 867 CE. Edwin and Luke are young boys training to be monks. It's a quiet life until suddenly the Vikings invade.

The Sword of the Viking King: Wessex, England, 878 CE. Fortune is not on the side of the English and the Vikings will soon control all the land. Even young Ethelbert believes he could do a better job than King Alfred. Little does he know that soon he will be called on to prove it.
