Freyja's Star - Wayfarers

**The Wayfarer series can be read in any order, as each story is complete within itself.**Wayfarer: a traveller, usually on foot; a person in transit from one place to another. Lodestone: a rock containing magnetite; floated in water, it swings to indicate true north; used by early travellers and mariners to navigate. From parent to child, found and lost, cherished and discarded, one small piece of stone imbued with a mysterious essence will affect thousands of people from all over the world and across more than nine thousand years of history.
One thousand years ago, on the snowbound plains of what will one day be known as Baffin Island, Canada, Viking explorers have established small townships and trading posts. When his family's farmhold is attacked by skraelings, teenager Haakon flees for his life with his small cousins and baby sister tucked into a sled. But Haakon has been lame for years, and the settlement of Helluland is many hours away.
And a snowstorm is brewing.
