Far Side of the Sea: Book One

In the Middle Ages, when Viking raids relentlessly threaten the people of the British Isles, two boys living on opposite sides of a formidable sea have their courage and strength put to the test. Traveling on a Viking longboat, Finn seeks a chance to escape his captors and find the beloved father he was separated from as a child. Malachy, an Irish boy raised by monks in a remote cliffside monastery, wishes simply to defend the only life he knows. As the boys' lives are inescapably connected, fighting from opposite sides of the battle, they must each carve a path to discover where they belong within the Lord's plan.
