Book Description

The Runestone Saga August 12, 2008
RUNE MAGIC, TIME travel, transformation: Sky’s grandfather opened up a world of limitless possibility . . . then asked the impossible. He asked Sky to kill a man.
Sky and Kristin know they have to stop Sigurd. But how, when he can possess any person, any beast, at will? Once more, the answer is to be found back along the bloodlines. The secret of possession lies in Meg, an accused witch, and in Matthew, the Witchfinder determined to capture her. But the price for knowing what Sigurd knows is steep—to defeat their grandfather, will they have to become exactly like him?
In this thrilling conclusion to the Runestone Saga, the final choice between everlasting life and the necessity of death will be made at one of the great turning points in history—a battle, quite literally, for all time. And the outcome rests precariously on one final cast of the runes. . . .

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up—What would you do if you were offered the chance to become a god? That's the question facing 16-year-old Sky March in this conclusion to the saga. It starts with an exhausted Sky, in the form of a hawk, being attacked by crows as he races to get back to his body before the doctors declare him dead. And then things really take off. He has rescued his cousin Kristin from possession by their grandfather, and now the two must figure out a way to stop evil Sigurd from changing history and taking over the world. They travel through time, in and out of the bodies of ancestors, with their final confrontation taking place during the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Sky and Kristin are well-developed characters in a tale filled with time travel, Norse gods, rune-casting, quasi-religious cults, accused witches, and berserker Vikings. The writing is fast paced, the research is solid, and the creep factor is high. Familiarity with the first two books is a plus, but not imperative. Fans will not be disappointed.—Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
