I think this came from a freecycler, or possibly a bargain bag of books from a charity shop!

Synopsis
It is the Dark Ages and something evil is stirring. A ship sailing from Noviomagus across the channel to Gaul, is caught in a ferocious storm and dashed against the rocks. There are only two survivors of the wreck, both children, and they are tossed up on the shore with a mysterious trunk. An old man rescues them from the beach. He seemed to know they would be coming, and he also appears very interested in the trunk. They cannot escape what lies inside, it is both good and evil, but binds itself to their destiny and sets them on a path which they are forced to follow, and face what lies at the end.

RELEASE NOTES:

A fast enjoyable read. Now to find the next in this series.

This is off to Shaunesay who chose it in the sci-fi/fantasy VBB on Bookobsessed. Enjoy!

This looked like a good one so I grabbed it right away! Thanks Teachie!

A nice YA fantasy, not particularly memorable, but I would probably read the rest if they came my way! It could just be that I'm preoccupied with work too!

Next stop is Xeyra via M-bag by Peppervl, enjoy!

It's here. Sorry it took so long to journal. Thanks for sending it!

I'll add it to Xeyra's box!
