During her years as a captive of Mikkel, the Viking raider, Briana O'Toole has longed to return to her family and resume her life in Ireland. Yet she has changed. Bree finds herself excited to be on Leif Erikson's ship and be part of the discovery and exploration of new lands.
Mikkel's newfound Christian faith has changed him, too. Will he really take Bree home and keep his promise to give her freedom? Mikell has something else on his mind, too, a secret from when he first raided Ireland. Will his faith in God give him the courage to do the right thing?
And will Bree and Devin's knowledge of this secret put them in danger?

I've read all the Viking Quest books. It is just about my favorite series of books. This was the last book in the series and I disliked my Viking adventure coming to an end.

I highly recommend this series.

The book starts out with Mikkel, Bree, and Devin exploring the new world with Leif Ericson. It has been nearly five years since the Viking raid Mikkel led that had taken Bree away from her home in Ireland. Mikkel has promised to bring both...
