Courage through Disheartening Developments

Bree says goodbye to her brother, sister, and cousin as they head home to Ireland, and she remains a captive in Norway. Mikkel has promised to free her if she and Devin accompany him on a voyage. He has noticed that God protects Bree, and she resents being considered a good luck charm. Bree is also afraid that Mikkel will not keep his promises, and fears for Devin's safety if he returns to Norway. Devin and Bree's parents do send him back, however, and they set out with Mikkel's expedition. Along the way they realize that someone is trying to hurt Mikkel and thwart his plans, endangering everyone's lives. Mikkel also begins to understand that he can be a man, and still trust in Bree's God. Through all the frightening changes in this fourth book of the Viking Quest series, Bree, Devin and Mikkel learn how to find a heart of courage.
