Product Description

Dan and Ursula return to the present day after months in King Arthur's England. They sought a way back home for so long, but now find themselves unable to cope with modern life. Ursula's incredible strength and Dan's experience on the battlefield make it impossible to fit in with friends. So when they have an opportunity to go back in time, neither can resist. They emerge in 878 AD, the age of King Alfred the Great. Vikings are rampaging through Britain and the King, defeated and weak, has retreated to the marshes. Dan finds him here, and he and Alfred's men begin plotting a counter-attack. But Dan cannot fight without Ursula. Consumed by her time-slip ability to wield magic, she has been captured by the Vikings who now revere her as a goddess. Everything hinges on Dan being able to rescue Ursula first from the Vikings, then from herself. This is an utterly page-turning, clever, and action-packed finale to the Warriors trilogy.

Review
`One of the very best magical adventures of the past 30 years . . . [Browne] is a part of the grand Celtic storytelling tradition in British children's literature that began with Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, continued with T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone and blossomed in Tolkien and Alan Garner'
--The Times, April, 2009

`Older boys as well as girls will be sorry that N. M. Browne's violent and lyrical time-travel Warriors trilogy has ended'
--The Review, The Times

Customer Reviews

At last...
Oh my goodness, I have waited 6 long years to find out what happened to Dan and Ursula and FINALLY this book landed on my doorstep... and you know what, I was not disappointed.

Browne's writing is as imaginative and evocative as in the previous two books. Dan and Ursula are beautifully created, rounded, interesting characters - I really cared about what was happening to them. I won't spoil the ending for you, suffice to say that it is conclusive and I think this is the end of Dan and Ursula's time travel adventures, but I've loved every step of the journey with them.

If you enjoyed this book, why not try some of Browne's other works (especially recommend "Shadow Web"), or anything by Philip Reeve, Stephen R.Lawhead (the "Hood" series is excellent) or Eoin Colfer. I'm off to read all 3 Warriors books again now!!

Wrapped up the series beautifully.
Thanks NM Browne. I was eagerly awaiting this book and it did not disappoint. If you have not read the 'Warriors' trilogy, then I suggest you do!!!
