Based on an ancient Icelandic folktale, this is a heart-breaking story of a young girl who must learn to forget all she knows and carve out a place for herself in a new world - all without speaking a word. Taking a vow of silence, however, she finds herself an object of fascination to her captors, and she soon realises that what little power she has may just make a difference. Thrown into a new and unknown world, amongst people her former country's laws regarded as less than human, Melorka must learn quickly if she is to survive. But all of this is suddenly meaningless when she is kidnapped and taken aboard a Viking slave ship. Melkorka is a princess, the first daughter of a magnificent kingdom in medieval Ireland.
