Líf had been unable to stop the sentence of full outlawry that was now imposed upon her and her entire family.

Misfortune had clung to her since birth, for she had the ability to see and speak with everyone's animal-shaped guardian spirits—an attribute that drew more skepticism than belief. Yet Brasir claimed he shared a similar gift—one which currently steered their longship further north to speak with the seeress whom they prayed had answers.
