The Wolf-Sisters
''The Wolf-Sisters'' (2001) is a historical fantasy novel by Susan Price.〔(''The Wolf-Sisters'' at Fantastic Fiction )〕 It is set in the Viking society of an undetermined country, (although one that has borders with another hostile nation) where the majority of the population, including its king, queen and court, believe in the old Norse gods. Its plot is central to Kenelm Aetheling, the main protagonist, a young man of noble birth whose uncle, King Guthlac, gave him away to a monastery in order to have an Aetheling advocate in the growing Christian community should they gain more power. Written for "older readers", ''The Wolf-Sisters'' deals with the themes of slavery, internal conflict and the choice between what one wants to do and what one ought to do- in other words, Head vs. Heart.
==Plot introduction==
The story begins with a lone traveller wearing a bloodstained wolfskin arriving at the Borough of Thane Aelfric, a minor lord, and being admitted by a wary doorkeeper. He is generally treated as an outcast within the small village throughout the day, and welcomed, though suspiciously, to night-meal by Aelfric, where he claims that he is Kenelm, nephew to King Guthlac of the North Saxons. Aelfric disbelieves him, despite the fact that he is wearing expensive (though damaged) clothes, boots and a gold, silver and enamel torc around his neck, (proving that he is rich and possibly noble), so Kenelm asks to be given the chance to tell his story, allowing them to judge him when it is told.
