{"product_id":"the-shield-ring-9781590785225","title":"The Shield Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eHigh in the mountains of the Lake District is a secret valley where the Vikings have their last stronghold--their Shield Ring. The Normans seek to crush this group of Northmen and to bring all of England under their control. They build a castle in Carlisle and send an army north. Meanwhile  the Northmen lamb and harvest as though life were normal  but Ari Knudson sharpens Wave-flame and the Jarl prepares his War Host. Two youths of the village--Frytha  a Saxon girl who fled to the valley when the Normans burned her home  and Bjorn  the foster-son of the old harper--make ready  too. As the Normans approach the secret valley  the Northmen recruit able bodies  and Bjorn volunteers to enter the Norman camp as a spy. Frytha knows Bjorns deepest fear: that if he is captured  he will fall to Norman torture and reveal the location of the Shield Ring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276532244533,"sku":"ByrdShop_1590785223","price":227.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781590785225.jpg?v=1780554770","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-shield-ring-9781590785225","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
