Melkorka is a princess, the first daughter of a magnificent kingdom in medieval Ireland -- but all of this is lost the day she is kidnapped and taken aboard a marauding slave ship. Thrown into a world that she has never known, alongside people that her former country's laws regarded as less than human, Melkorka is forced to learn quickly how to survive. Taking a vow of silence, however, she finds herself an object of fascination to her captors and masters, and soon realizes that any power, no matter how little, can make a difference.
Based on an ancient Icelandic saga, award-winning author Donna Jo Napoli has crafted a heartbreaking story of a young girl who must learn to forget all that she knows and carve out a place for herself in a new world -- all without speaking a word.

Pastrarea secretelor nu e intotdeauna o treaba usoara...Cartea pare interesanta, mai ales ca provine dintr-o poveste mai veche.
Coperta este foarte delicata, probabil ca fata de pe coperta o reprezinta pe printesa cu nume complicat :D
Draguta fata de pe coperta.Imi place povestea este diferita.
