El Ojo de Raven = Raven. Blood Eye Book

Durante dos anos, Osric ha llevado una existencia sencilla. Temido y rechazado por los habitantes de Abbotsend debido a su misterioso pasado y a su ojo del color de la sangre, ha crecido como aprendiz del viejo carpintero mudo que lo tomo bajo su proteccion luego de que todos le dieran la espalda. Pero cuando llegan, de allende los mares, los invasores nordicos para saquear la aldea, Osric es tomado prisionero y ve destruida asi su nueva vida. El jefe de los vikingos, Sigurd el Afortunado, cree que las nornas han entrelazado el destino de este nino con el suyo. Inmerso en el mundo de los nordicos y llevado por un insaciable deseo de aventuras, Osric se revela como un guerrero natural y crea un vinculo de sangre con Sigurd, quien lo bautiza Raven. Sin embargo, se trata de un mundo salvaje en el que a menudo la lealtad se paga con sangre y un hombre joven debe convertirse en asesino para sobrevivir. Cuando Sigurd y los suyos estan a punto de ser aniquilados por Ealdred de Wessex, Raven elige un camino peligroso al aceptar una mision para adentrarse en tierras hostiles y robar una reliquia del rey de Mercia. Alli encontrara mucho mas que los Evangelios sagrados de san Jeronimo. Encontrara una chica inglesa con un alma similar a la suya. Y tambien la traicion de manos de hombres crueles, a algunos de los cuales consideraba sus amigos Extraordinaria aventura vikinga que transcurre en la Inglaterra del siglo IX, El ojo de Raven es una novela repleta de emocion y batallas sangrientas. / For two years Osric has lived a simple life, apprentice to the mute old carpenter who took him in when others would have him cast out. But when Norsemen from across the sea burn his village they also destroy his new life, and Osric finds himself a prisoner of these warriors. Their chief, Sigurd the Lucky, believes the Norns have woven this strange boy's fate together with his own, and Osric begins to sense glorious purpose among this Fellowship of warriors. Immersed in the Norsemen's world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a blood bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven. But the Norsemen's world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood and where a young man must become a killer to survive. When the Fellowship faces annihilation from ealdorman Ealdred of Wessex, Raven chooses a bloody and dangerous path, accepting the mission of raiding deep into hostile lands to steal a holy book from Coenwolf, King of Mercia. There he will find much more than the Holy Gospels of St Jerome. He will find Cynethryth, an English girl with a soul to match his own. And he will find betrayal at the hands of cruel men, some of whom he regarded as friends.Read More
