Plot+and+Conflict



Halli Sveinsson was not the strongest kid nor the tallest, and not the most talented. But he have a knack for making someone think twice about what he has said. He has the wits of a real hero, and the smartness of a owl. His qualities are put to the test when his uncle named Brodir is murdered. Halli sets off on a quest that will forever change his life. He learns the truth of the origin of his House, his heroic fathers tales, and most importantly the Trows and mysterious cairns that fences everyone into the Valley.

He also meets a young girl named Aud. She travels with Halli, keeping him alive and safe from all of the other dangers Halli can't handle alone. She faces her fathers and, the thought of her being married to someone of her father's choosing, and trying to escape with Halli across the forbidden cairns to see what lies beyond them and the forbidden mountains. There must be another valley beyond the caged in cairns and mountains. This is probably the only reason that Aud considers Halli as a worthy friend.

These two go on a quest that most people would never do even if they were offered a great deal of money. They have to deal with house fires, road robbers, the Hakonssons, old spirits, and of course monsters. They will learn all the secrets there is to know about their past and possible future but only if they live through what's coming for them. This book was very interesting, because you could never tell what unpredictable craziness Halli would think up next. We enjoyed this book very much and recommend it to you reader. So read, if you dare.
