The Islands of the Blessed (Sea of Trolls Trilogy, Bk. 3)

In this much-anticipated conclusion to the trilogy, apprentice bard Jack — now fourteen — faces a destructive, restless spirit drawn to his village by a magical bell, prompting him, his friend Thorgil, and their mentor to journey to the magical land of Notland, home to mermaids and strange beings. There they must confront dark forces and survive perilous adventures as Notland proves to be a place where true calling and heroism are tested.

“It’s a wondrous tale of hobgoblins, mermaids and sea hags, Saxons and Northmen, old gods and young bards… thoroughly steeping readers in Norse mythology.” — Kirkus Reviews
