Slave boy Bron can usually avoid the wrath - and the stick - of his master, the grumpy village blacksmith. But Bron's life is dull and lacking in family or friendship. And he is always hungry. Then, one day, a Saxon lord arrives - passing through the village on his way to an important war council. Bron gets a chance to escape and prove just how valuable one young lad's actions can be - for his village, for the lord and ultimately, for the whole kingdom. A tale of friendship and the desire to belong, this adventure will thrill young readers. This well-researched story immerses readers in the Anglo-Saxon era, with plenty of period detail about the myths and culture of that time.
