About This Book
A Shetland teenager who longs for Viking days leads his friends in seaside adventures that mimic Norse raids, staging mock battles, captures, and small-scale seafaring. The story follows their schemes and contests of skill, along with the practical consequences of youthful daring as they use hidden geos and island haunts to improvise prisons and tests of courage. Interwoven scenes portray daily coastal life, group camaraderie, and the boys' imaginative reenactments of older exploits, told in episodic chapters that balance high spirits, rivalry, and moments of cautious responsibility.
