Synopsis: The Saga of Halla Wolf-friend
When eleven-year-old Halla Halldorsdottir finds a wolf pup in a snare, her family regards the animal as blessing, but only bad luck comes to the farm on the coast of northern Norway. Her father and older brother are lost at sea, and the family home burned down by a man Halla does not recognize. She and her wolf-friend Ulf must survive the harsh wilderness and find their way to civilization alone.
Even there, a poor girl and a tame wolf can't expect easy passage to Iceland. But help comes from unlikely places -- perhaps red-headed Niál, an Irish slave boy who claims he can practice seidr, is stronger than he looks, and can help Halla figure out what manner of creature is killing the cattle of a local landowner.
Might a bit of fame and fortune get this unlikely trio on their way?
