The slave girl doesn't even have a name. The bullying Vikings call her
'Fleece' because they make her look after the sheep. She works hard all
day, and at night she must serve them food and wine. When an accident
happens, and the Vikings have to bury their warrior chief, it looks
like Fleece will have the most difficult job of her life - going with
him to the afterworld. Surely this is a journey from which there is no
escape...
A Viking story blending Norse mythology with historical fact and Terry Deary's vividly imagined characters.
