(3) YA Irish princess Melkorka is taken by slave traders to become the concubine of an Icelandic chieftain. She realizes that not speaking gives her power over her superstitious captors, who suspect she's an enchantress. Napoli maps Melkorka's transformation from haughty, spoiled princess to slave and, ultimately, survivor. Additionally, she sketches fascinating details of various medieval cultures.
