The Norseman Eyvind, a fierce and loyal Wolfskin, came to a new land on top of the world to find his destiny. With his priestess bride Nessa he saved the land and weathered the treachery that was caused by Eyvind's blood-sworn friend Somerled. After much pain and sorrow the two lovers have managed to create a society where the Norse warriors and the gentle folks of the Orkney Isles live and thrive in contentment at last. A decade and more has passed since the devastating events of the creation of the settlement and Eyvind and Nessa have watched their children grow and thrive in peace.But not all on the islands are content or at peace. Thorvald, the young son of Margaret, widow of the slain king and Eyvind's war leader, has always felt apart and at odds with all he knows. He learns upon his coming to manhood that he is not his father's son but that of the love that Margaret bore for the hated Somerled and that Somerled was not killed for his treachery but sent on a boat, adrift with little more than a knife and skein of water, doomed to the god's will. Thorvald is determined to find a boat and cast off to the West in a desperate bid to find a father he never knew... and to find out if he is made of the same stuff as the henious traitor.The tragedy of this scheme would be horrific enough... if it were not for the fact that Creidhe, the winsome daughter of Eyvind and Nessa has loved Thorvald since birth and unbeknownst to him conspires to go along on this most perilous of quests.What happens to them on their journey of discovery will ultimately change the lives of all they know and love... and will doom (or redeem) an entire people.

Até hoje não sei se foi um percalço na tradução, ou então se a Juliet usou mesmo, mesmo aquele termo diga-se... chocante, se o comparar-mos com termos para descrever a mesma situação em obras anteriores (ufa). Não é incorrecto, é até biologica/anatomica/cientificamente o mais correcto (suponho), mas pronto... era escusado. Bah! Leiam-no:)
---------------------------------------------
Foxmask is Juliet's black sheep. Why? I do not know. The general opinion is something like "I couldn't relate to Creidhe" or "Creidhe annoys me a bit." And why is that? Is it because the girl is the most desperate housewife of all the protagonists by this author? Is it because she is enormously fond of an idiot who does not care a bit for her? Or is it because she's a little ... I do not know what? An absolute mystery. Well, let's leave Creidhe to the side, and talk about the males. I think the males of this plot also lack in somehing; Thorvald for example, is so stupid that instead of giving thanks to the heavens above that he has his mother and Creidhe, prefers to spend his life in a poor-me-I-don't-know-my-father constant mode; Sam is another crazy person in love with someone who does not want him,and I admit, that, a lot because of his name, and also because he's the nice sidekick who no one ever listens to, he reminds me of Sam from The Lord of the Rings and somehow that's not a good thing, even though they're both adorable there is something that ... I do not know; Keeper, Keeper is the typical Marillier hero: gentleman, strong, brave, modest, passionate, very much in love with the girl he's supposed to be, and in that I'm-not-good-enough-for-that-goddess way, which melts the goddess' and the readers' hearts. He also has a super developed parental/fraternal instinct that vaporizes the hearts melted before, and yet there is something ... I do not know.
Still, this is Juliet Marillier, and she's always, always worth it. ( )
