In this exciting conclusion to Peter Ward's epic Viking Trilogy, Eric Bignose, bravest of the young Viking rebels, embarks on a dangerous journey. Together with Beowulf, his rescued mystical bear cub, Eric confronts the legendary demon dog, Black Shuck. But in so doing, he brings a curse upon his adopted Saxon village, and the villagers banish him to the wild.
Yet Eric's loyal Viking comrades have not forgotten him. They rally to their friend's side and sail to Orkney, the islands north of the Scottish mainland. Here the young warriors avoid a sea witch's whirlpool, huge whales, and angry rock-tossing giants. When their longboat is wrecked by alluring mermaids, the youngsters are taken captive in a dark and dismal sea cave.
All hope seems lost. But Beowulf and his extraordinary Merman friend, the Murrough of Scottish legend, may have the final say in their fate. Will Eric and his friends survive or is this the end of their journey-and their lives?
A thrilling ride for young and old alike, Eric and the Mystical Bear will transport you to another era filled with adventure, danger, and courage!
Reviews:
“..the story becomes a high seas adventure to rival Homer’s Odyssey. The gang encounters sea witches, hostile Norsemen, duelling giants and treacherous mermaids as every chapter brings a new adventure and a certain brush with death. Both the novel and the trilogy come to a satisfying and complete conclusion, sure to captivate any child with an interest in mythology. Lush settings and exciting adventures make for a read kids with love.” Kirkus Reviews
“The final volume resolves nicely. The undersea escape itself is a thriller with unexpected twists. Steve Crisp provides great illustrations that capture the grandiosity of the gods as well as the humble domestic moments of village life..Amid all the myths and legends there’s a sadness running through the story. Loss of home and family are deeply felt...Ward is to be commended for creating a series that has improved with each volume, one built around a strong moral center..The book serves as a golden-rule message for young readers to absorb.” Foreword Reviews
