Description
Thyra's Promise by Natalie Debrabandere is set in 897 A.D. in the Highlands of Scotland. At twenty-one, Thyra has become a strong and proud Viking warrior, raised like one of the boys by her brother Bjarke. She yearns for adventure and travel, but when Bjarke fails to take her seriously, she finds someone else who does - Kari Sturlusson, commander-in-chief of her people. Over the course of a magical summer, Kari becomes Thyra's mentor, teacher, and lover, guiding her through a transformative journey. However, their cultures share a bitter history, which will soon be brought to a head by winter's arrival. As the cycle ends and a new path begins, Thyra must make a startling choice. The outcome of this promise is far from certain, leaving readers wondering what the future holds for these two women.
