Sea of Trolls

Nancy Farmer

When young Jack is apprenticed to a Druid bard, he discovers a world of ancient magic and wonder—but his newfound knowledge is put to the ultimate test when Viking Berserkers capture him and his beloved sister Lucy. Taken to the frozen realm of King Ivar the Boneless and his mysterious half-troll queen, Jack finds himself caught between two worlds, forced to navigate a dangerous court where magic and brutality collide. To save his sister and survive this treacherous land, Jack must undertake an epic quest to Jotunheim, the legendary home of the trolls, where he will face unimaginable perils and discover the true extent of his powers. Nancy Farmer weaves together Norse mythology, Celtic magic, and coming-of-age adventure in this richly imagined fantasy that explores courage, loyalty, and the transformative power of magic.
