Description

In the previous books, we have met Nicholas, who is eventually to be known around the world as St. Nicholas, the Giftbringer. We have met his friend Petrus, who is to become his lifelong companion, though for a time the two will follow separate pathways and destinies. We have seen young Nico grow from a worldly child to a young man committed to the service of God and have witnessed his remarkable and sudden promotion to the position of Bishop of Myra.What about Anna, the girl young Nico once loved, and Prince Ilyan of Novgorod, the man she was betrothed to marry? Now the tale shifts to Anna, and later to Ilyan, as the newlyweds adjust to married life on the high seas and beyond while they wend their way northward to their future home. A mounting incompatibility is the not the worst of their troubles, as the powerful Roman forces have not been able to banish the marauding pirates from the waterways. A pirate raid devastates the family and nearly puts an end to their journey. It is only Ilyan’s determination that keeps the little group moving forward—but even he is no likely match for the mighty Kossos, the Bane of the Black Sea.Thus begins the story arc that author Frederick Wiegand considers his best ever—a tale of divided loyalty, betrayal, and brotherhood. Books 5, 6, and 7 of the Giftbringer series comprise the sequence titled Journey to Novgorod. It is an epic story of a family’s long journey home and the pitfalls that are encountered along the way, culminating in a stunning climax that is guaranteed to thrill readers with pulse-pounding excitement.
