Rent Heroes of the Valley

Synopsis

Halli Sveinsson has grown up in the House of Svein, hearing the legends of the heroes as all his forefathers did. Theirs is a peaceful society, where the violence of the past has been outlawed and the Council settles disputes. But young Halli has never quite seemed to fit in with the others. For starters, he is neither handsome nor tall, like his siblings. He's stumpy and swarthy, with a quick mind and aptitude for getting in trouble. Bored with the everyday chores and shepherding, he can't help himself from playing practical jokes on everyone. But when he plays a trick on Ragnar of the House of Hakons, he goes too far, setting in motion a chain of events that will forever alter his destiny. Because of it, Halli will have to leave home and go on a hero's quest. In the end, he will discover the truth about the legends, his family, and himself.
