Set in the Early Middle Ages, Melkorka is a princess who plans to grow up surrounded by her family in Ireland. Her plans change quickly when she is kidnapped and taken aboard a slave ship. Her trick to survival lies in the fact that she refuses to speak, making the
kidnappers think she is a sorceress. Irish and Viking life intertwine in this tale that transports the reader to a different time and place. (Grades 9 & Up)
