Northern Europe, 1000 AD. Thyra Andersdotter has an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Spending countless hours in the forest learning archery and foraging for herbs, the fifteen-year-old healer is happiest in nature. But a routine walk with her father turns tragic when they return home to find their village burned and most everyone killed or taken.
Fleeing with their wounded kinsmen, Thyra despairs that her modest skill won't be enough to save a handsome young warrior. And with her father the target of a wicked king's vengeance, she fears nowhere they can go will be safe.
Can Thyra and her clan reach refuge before the barbaric ruler cuts them down?
Beyond the Dragonhead is the page-turning first book in the Viking Refugees YA historical fiction series. If you like valiant characters, epic adventures, and rich period detail, then you'll love Kelly Nichols and Alyn Rockwood's sweeping tale of Norse bravery.
