Hal never knew his father, a Skandian warrior. But unlike his esteemed father, Hal is an outcast. In a country that values physical strength over intellect, Hal's ingenuity only serves to set him apart from the other boys his age. The one thing he has in common with his peers? Brotherband training. Forced to compete in tests of endurance and strength, Hal discovers that he's not the only outcast in this land of seafaring marauders - and that his battle for acceptance has just begun.
