Young Adult Adventure
Adrian is small for his age, even for an almost thirteen
year old. It doesn't help that he has albinism, which
makes
those he meets wonder if he's an angel or a devil. His
father is a bowyer, and all Adrian wants to do is become
apprenticed and go off to war as an archer. But that's
not
what his father wants for him. Since Adrian can write,
his
father wants him to be a scribe. That's just about the
last
thing Adrian wants. When the Scots invade England and
Adrian's best friend Hugh runs off to find his father and
fight in battles, Adrian soon follows, intent on finding
Hugh and joining him in glorious warfare against the
pagans
invading England from the north. When Adrian finds Hugh,
who
is caring for a wounded Scotsman, he's horrified that
Hugh
would aid an enemy. But soon, as Adrian gets to know
Donald,
he begins to question what he's been taught about the
enemy
and the nature of war. In this epic journey an afflicted
boy
finds an inner strength he never knew belonged to him.
