The gripping, heart-wrenching companion novel to Emmy Laybourne's much acclaimed historical fantasy Berserker.
Rare powers. Precious metals. A final showdown.
1886. The Hemstads possess supernatural powers bestowed upon their family by the ancient Norse gods. Now Sissel, the youngest at 16, discovers her gift: she is a Ransacker. She can find gold and other precious metals and pull them to her. Hers is an awesome and dangerous gift.
Sissel and her siblings have been living peacefully in a small town in Montana, trying to blend-in and escape the violent events that haunt them, but they've all been tricked—the handsome young man courting Sissel is secretly a Pinkerton spy, reporting to the man who wants to control them, the Baron Fjelstad.
Sissel's beau is not the only one interested in her new talents. She's also caught the attention of a local mine owner who's convinced Sissel has a lucky touch when it comes to finding gold. With betrayal lurking around every corner, Sissel must tread carefully. Harnessing her powers could bring great fortune . . . or cause the powerful Baron to come hunting her and her siblings down for once and for all.

      Grades 9-12 This companion to Laybourne's Berserker (2017) picks up three years after the events of the first book. The narrative bounces between Hanne Hemstad and her fianc�, Owen, who have joined a cattle drive (complete with satisfying descriptions of food prep, cowboy politics, and life on the trail) to make ends meet, and that of Hanne's sister Sissel, who is coming into her independence as a young woman, as well as her unexpected Nyette (power). Sissel thought the ancient powers her siblings possess had skipped her, but it turns out she's a Ransacker?someone who can sense and pull metals from the environment, including gold. This skill quickly gains her the wrong type of attention from locals, potential suitors, and the dark force that is still keeping a close eye on the family. Sissel's struggle with the frustration of not being able to wield her power (and autonomy) the way she'd like makes for a wonderfully flawed and complex heroine. A terrific follow-up to Berserker, full of adventure, magic, and deep family loyalty.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
