Though lightly undertaken, this quest into the unknown turns into an exacting experience for the courageous companions whose strength, skill, wit and intelligence will be tested to the extreme limits. The lack of violence makes it a very safe read for any child, and the continual emphasis on morality also hangs true on the framework of the book's thematic structure. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. Aud has warned the Vikings that should blood ever be shed upon Hy-Brasil, the entire island would sink beneath the waves.
