Full Description: The Viking Saxon Saga and the Stolen Mysticals is a Magical Tale of Mystery and Mayhem!
The sound of splintering wood jolts twelve-year-old Torin and Terra awake. Hearing thundering footsteps below, they rush to the top of the stairs as the front door crashes to the floor. A mysterious woman shrouded in black sweeps through the opening. Intruders dash in behind her. They break everything in sight, searching for a shield, a book, and a key-her mysticals.
The woman claims their father, Ravn, stole her precious property. When he denies taking anything of hers, he's beaten, gagged, and shackled. Terra and Torin give away their position when they cry out. The intruders charge up the stairs to seize them, but the twins escape through hidden stairs leading outside. From the top of a knoll, they watch in horror as henchmen heave their father onto the back of a horse and whisk him away.
Their father left clues woven into a story he used to tell them. Once they decipher the clues, Terra and Torin find the stolen mysticals. The shield's guardians, a hawk, a snake, a wolf, and a bear, manifest into form to protect them. The book, with its dragon's eye cover, contains powerful incantations, and the key unlocks a mystery.
As Terra and Torin race to their father's rescue, they uncover a web of concealed identities, lies, and deception-plunging them into a treacherous world of mystery, magic, and mayhem. The Woman in Black spies through her raven's eyes, dispatching menacing men and mythical beasts, an ogre, a dragon, a manticore, and more, to halt the twins' advance and reclaim her stolen property.
Will Terra and Torin reach their father in time to rescue him from the woman's clutches and the fate that awaits him? Join them on their inspiring and exciting quest.
