Hush

As the first daughter of a magnificent kingdom in medieval Ireland, Melkorka leads a life of privilege and luxury. But when she is kidnapped and taken aboard a Viking slave ship, Mel must learn quickly if she is to survive. Taking a vow of silence, she finds herself an object of fascination to her captors, and soon realises that what little power she has may just make a difference.

Based on an ancient Icelandic folktale, this is a heartbreaking and powerful story of a young girl who must learn to forget all she knows and carve out a place for herself in a new world - all without speaking a word.
