Historical Novel
Caught in the turmoil of Iceland's 13th century, a boy grows to
manhood, is blooded in battle, loves and loses, but forges a life
amid feuds and volcanic eruptions to leave his descendants an unforgettable
inheritance. A fast-moving tale in the spirit of the times, an adventure
for all those bitten with Viking fever.
Exciting
"Those in love with the Icelandic sagas, or those who simply
love an exciting, moving adventure story, should certainly read
Raven Gunnar, by Terry Lacy. She has, amazingly, been able
to capture the unique spirit of the sagas while importing stylistic
elements of the modern novel. This page-turner recreates life in
medieval Iceland, provides us with an understanding of Iceland's
magical appeal, and draws us deeply into the lives and adventures
of a saga-type hero and his family. A terrific read!" Mikael

Gunnar, a novel which brings alive a period in Icelandic history
when the unsuspecting were pawns in a power play for dominance."
