much better than most Celtic/historical books. well written and well researched and not a soppy love story
A fascinating tale of the Dark Ages
Four women from different social ranks are at the heart of this Dark Ages tale set in England: Saethryth the steward's daughter, Wynn the blacksmith's daughter, Auli the spy's daughter, and Elfrun who is the daughter of the Wolf. When Elfrun's father is sent to Rome on a mission by the king, Donmouth estate is left in her hands. Young and inexperienced, she does her best to govern, despite the pressure her grandmother puts upon her to enter a convent and take the veil. At the same time, a dangerous man returns to the community, and he wants to wed his son to her. As time passes, Elfrun does not know her father's fate, but she is determined to keep the estate and all the people in her care in good standing.
Author Victoria Whitworth did an exceptional job of bringing to life the hardships of the Dark Ages, and the plight of women during that time. Unique scenes such as the whale harvest made for a fascinating read. The characters and their inter-relationships to each other were beautifully fleshed out, along with the intriguing setting, and an ending that was utterly satisfying. A medieval novel that is sure to keep you flipping pages until the end. Highly recommended.

is just coming of age with great responsibility and besides being faced with normal young girl ...
This story takes place around 850. So imagine lots of organic lands and emotions. The main character, Elfrun, is just coming of age with great responsibility and besides being faced with normal young girl issues such as crushes and learning how to grow into an adult, she is also faced with adult decisions.
I can honestly say that there was plenty of mystery in a number of things in the storyline. Without creating spoilers, I will say that I couldn't wait to pick up my Kindle every night and get lost in these lands. The things that I'd hoped for didn't always happen but yet ultimately they ended in a way that makes me suggest How about a sequel that starts from here? I would definitely pick delve into that as well!
Think chivalry, metalsmithing, cloaks, farms and lush landscapes.
