Week Six Prompt - Book Talk

Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgewick

Have you ever had the feeling you’ve lived another life? Or maybe that you know a person from somewhere, but you just can’t put your finger on it? When journalist, Eric Seven, arrives on Blessed Island to investigate rumors of a population who has discovered the fountain of youth, there’s something vaguely familiar about residents Merle and Tor. It’s like he’s known them before, but something’s not right. And then things start to go horribly wrong.

A long time ago, before recorded history, crops start to fail. Villagers are starving and dying. In order to save his people, a sacrifice must be given and only one will do. King Eirikr the One and his Queen, Melle, fight to save their people and fight to stay together. But this isn’t just any love story. It’s dark, and chilling, and scary.

From prehistory, to Vikings, to World War II, to the year 2073, the award-winning Midwinterblood takes the reader on a roller-coaster through time. In seven, interlocking stories, Marcus Sedgewick weaves the story of two souls and their struggle to find each other. It’s Midwinter and only blood will appease the gods. See how it all comes together in Midwinterblood.
