THE CHILDREN

FROM THE SEA OF TROLLS

BRAVE THEIR WORST

NIGHTMARES -- UNDERGROUND.

Jack is amazed to have caused an earthquake. He is thirteen, after all, and

only a bard-in-training. But his sister, Lucy, has been stolen by the Lady

of the Lake; stolen a second time in her young life, as he learns to his

terror. Caught between belief in the old gods and Christianity (790 AD,

Britain), Jack calls upon his ash wood staff to subdue a passel of unruly

monks, and, for his daring, ends up in a knucker hole. It is unforgettable

-- for the boy and for readers -- as are the magical reappearance of the

berserker Thorgil from a burial by moss; new characters Pega, a slave girl

from Jack's village, and the eager-to-marry-her Bugaboo (a hobgoblin king);

kelpies; yarthkins; and elves (not the enchanted sprites one would expect

but the fallen angels of legend). Rarely does a sequel enlarge so

brilliantly the world of the first story. Look for the conclusion in The

Islands of the Blessed in 2009.
