The Book of Bera: Sea Paths (Book I in The Book of Bera trilogy)

Born and raised in a stark, coastal village on the shore of the Ice-Rimmed Sea, Bera is the daughter of a Valla, the Vikings’ most powerful seers. But her mother died when she was young, leaving Bera alone with her gift, unable to control her feckless twin spirit or understand her visions of the future.

When this inability leads to the death of her childhood friend at the hands of a rival clan, Bera vows revenge. And learning that her father has sold her into marriage with the murderous enemy’s chieftain, she is presented with an opportunity even sooner than she had hoped...

As her powers grow stronger, her visions of looming disaster become more and more ominous until she is faced with the ultimate choice: will she exact vengeance? Or can she lead her people to safety before it’s too late?

About the Author

Suzie Wilde

The Book of Bera

reflects my lifelong love of the sea and I lived aboard a boat for five years. I was born in Portsmouth where my father, David Shackleton, built boats. He fed me on Norse myths and the belief that we are related to Sir Ernest Shackleton, who said, “I seemed to vow to myself that some day I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth.” I followed – imaginatively.

Before writing full time I was a teacher, with degrees in English and Fine Art. I gained an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex in 2011. Recently, I became Front of House for the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators U.K. Conference. Last autumn, I was selected as one of the first six playwrights to take part in a series of workshops at the Criterion Theatre, with current West End actors. At present, I am writing a book with and for Middle Grade children to support local Libraries and encourage fledgling writers, and co-authoring a contemporary adult thriller set in Austria.
