Description
When the Brotherband crew are caught in a massive storm at sea, they're blown far off course and wash up on the shores of a land so far west that Hal can't recognize it from any of his maps. Eerily, the locals are nowhere in sight, yet the Herons have a creeping feeling they are being watched.
Suddenly the silence is broken when a massive, marauding bear appears, advancing on two children. The crew springs into action and rescues the children from the bear's clutches, which earns them the gratitude and friendship of the local Mawagansett tribe, who finally reveal themselves. But the peace is short-lived. The Ghostfaces, a ruthless, warlike tribe who shave their heads and paint their faces white, are on the warpath once more. It's been ten years since they raided the Mawagansett village, but they're coming back to pillage and reap destruction. As the enemy approaches, the Herons gear up to help their new friends repel an invasion.
In this sixth book in the action-packed Brotherband Chronicles, the Herons find themselves in unfamiliar lands and prepare for battle with a ruthless, unknown enemy
Chapter One
"I don't like the look of that," Thorn said, wrinkling his nose as he sniffed the damp salt air.
He and Hal were standing on the breakwater of the small harbor that served Castle Dun Kilty in Clonmel. The castle itself was several kilometers inland, but the harbor was home to a small fishing fleet that provided food for the castle and its surrounding village. In addition, it was a haven for courier ships bringing messages to King Sean, ruler of Clonmel.
Heron was one such ship. She had delivered a signed and sealed set of official papers to the king, a renewal of the treaty between Skandia and Clonmel. She had also delivered similar documents to three other kingdoms farther down the Hibernian coast. Erak liked to use the Heron for such tasks. She was fast and handy, and Hal was a reliable navigator.
Now, however, their task was completed and it was time to head for home. But the weather wasn't altogether promising.
The two friends studied the gray, racing seas that surged past outside the harbor walls, driven by the stiff north wind.
Thorn sniffed again. "It'll be a wet, rough passage north to round the tip of Picta," he said.
Hal shrugged. "We've been wet before," he replied, and then grinned. "It's part of a sailor's lot, they say."
"No sense in getting soaked for the sake of it," Thorn said. "If we wait a day or two, this might blow itself out."
"Or it might get worse, and then we'll find ourselves trapped here, with a hard beat north into the wind and sea. We could be caught here for a week or more."
