Runes and Red Sails by Ander Levisay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Diving into a world of royaly kings and warriors it starts off very sad with the death of King Osred of Earnfold. The king didn't deicide on which child would be the next king or Queen of Earnfold. His son Osric was casted out once Ceolwen came to the knoweladge of his birth.
After the kings Death with the processional out to the graveyard where the king will lay. Osric approched Aelfhild and tried to get her on his side to be the next King of the land meanwhile Ceolwen has no idea this is going on unil ceolwen and her mistress reach Norholt.!!! Once they arrived at norholt Eorl jumped up from the table were the warriors were eating and drinking from as drunk as Eorl was he came over huggedhis cousin and annouced to eat and drink in the name of the king's name Osred but Ceolwen declined and retired but Aelfhild stayed and ate cause of the many days she had gone without eating. Meanwhile she was on a gulit trip but gathered enough courage to go tell Ceolwen what really did happen and she did it wasn't as bad as Aelfhild had thought it might be. The next day they go out to the market it was Aelfhild's idea to get Coelwen's mind off of things little did they know that Aelfhild was gonna see something out of line a hooded man not once but twice!!! Later when they got back to the Great hall in Norholt Aelfhild process to tell Erol what she saw which get him thinking they are in grave danger and starting plotting up a plan or too!!! After going to one kingdom to the next to seek help from Ceolwen's relatives there was more challenges and new dangers they had to face as a group on this lengthy journey but once they reached the old lands Coelwen dies and to your surprisement it was Aelfhild who was chosen by the Gods!!!
