Halli Sveinsson, a mischievous young man, finds his life upended after a prank on the wrong person. Forced to leave his home, he embarks on a perilous journey encountering robbers, monsters, and a daring companion. As Halli navigates these challenges, he uncovers hidden truths about ancient legends, his family, and his own identity. Will he rise to the occasion and become the hero he never imagined he could be?

From the publisher

Halli Sveinsson is stumpy and swarthy, with a quick mind and an aptitude for getting in trouble. Bored with everyday chores and shepherding, he enjoys playing practical jokes. When he plays a trick on Ragnar of the House of Hakonsson, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever alter his destiny. He is forced to leave home and go on a hero’s quest complete with highway robbers, terrifying monsters, and a girl who may be as fearless as he is. Along the way he will discover the truth about the legends, his family, and himself.
