Humphreys, Chris. (Author).

Summary: In the attic, in an old sea chest, secreted away, are a mysterious journal and a set of runes: 24 stones that will change Sky's life forever. The sea chest belonged to his grandfather, lost at sea years ago. When Sky finds the stones, he also finds that Sigurd was not lost...entirely. His grandfather comes to him in dreams to teach him how to harness the runes' awesome power, to travel back in time to inhabit the life of a Viking ancestor, where he learns to fight, to kill and how to die.

    FETCH: The apparition, double, or wraith of a living person.

    In the attic, in an old sea chest, secreted away, are a mysterious journal and a set of runes: 24 stones that will change Sky’s life forever.

    When Sky and his cousin Kristin find their Norwegian grandfather’s runes, Sky feels like the wait is over, like he can now release the breath he wasn’t even aware he’d been holding. But when he lays out the stones in a runecast they find in Sigurd’s journal, he is catapulted into a world filled with more possibilities and more danger than he ever imagined.

    This first entry in the Runestone Saga is an utterly unique blend of horror, supernatural possibility, and historical truth that will leave readers wrung out from tension and clamoring for more.
