Bookroo's summary

Crispin and Troth, lost in a foreign land, seek refuge in Iceland, a place of promised freedom. With their mentor Bear gone, they face a perilous journey through the French countryside, where language barriers and unknown dangers lurk. Crispin is driven by a vow to honor Bear's teachings, but as betrayal and loss shadow their path, he must confront the true meaning of freedom. Will Crispin's quest for liberty lead to salvation or sacrifice? The stakes are high, and the cost of freedom may be more than he ever imagined.

From the publisher

As long as I could keep myself out of bondage, I’d be true to Bear’s teaching. And so it was that beyond all else, I was determined to keep my freedom.After the death of their beloved mentor, Bear, Crispin and Troth are more desperate than ever, wandering the desolate French countryside, where they don’t speak the language and know no one. The only hope they cling to is that somehow they can reach Iceland, where Bear had said there were no kings or lords, and where they can live in freedom. Crispin is determined to fulfill this dream, both for himself and to honor Bear’s memory. But the road to liberty is filled with danger, betrayal, and loss. Crispin must decide for himself what freedom really means–and how high a price he is willing to pay for it.
