Description

The Emperor's Elephant is the second book in the Saxon historical adventure series. Sigwulf, a Saxon prince exiled to the court of Carolus, King of the Franks, embarks on a perilous journey to obtain rare white animals from the Northlands.

His mission is to find white gyrfalcons, two white polar bears and a unicorn, which have been deemed essential gifts for Carolus's royal advisor. However, as Sigwulf and his companions travel further north, they begin to suspect that not all of their quarry are genuine.

The journey proves to be fraught with danger, and it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to sabotage the mission. With each stage of the long journey bringing new and unexpected perils, Sigwulf must use all his wits to overcome the obstacles in his path.
