First Line Friday – The Vikings of Loch Morar

Each Friday I pick one of the books I am currently reading and give you the first lines from the book. Not only does this give you a look at what I am reading so that you can watch for the reviews later on janemouttet.wordpres.com, it also gives the author I have chosen a little exposure.

coverBurt, William D. The Vikings of Loch Morar. Illustrated by Becky Miller. Hubbard, OH: Creation Way Books, 2019.

Over the wind-whipped ocean waves they had voyaged in sleek, high-prowed ships with fearsome figureheads. The seafarers had just pillaged a village on a peninsula jutting from the northeast corner of a dragon-shaped island. A celebration would have been in order, but the slaughter of unarmed holy men weighed heavily on the men’s hearts.”

Watch for my review of this title by William Burt in the next couple of weeks.
