Possession
In this gripping conclusion to the Runestone Saga series, Sky and Kristin must perfect their Fetch powers and their time-traveling magic to fight their evil grandfather, Sigurd. Sigurd has formed a personality cult and plans to tap the powers of his followers to bring about Ragnarok, the end of the world. Only by possessing the bodies of their ancestors (including Roundheads, witches, Vikings and Norman invaders) can Sky and Kristin gain the strength to fight Sigurd. They practice the art of possession, which becomes a dangerous and tempting experience. But it all comes down to a battle for all time, and the outcome rests perilously on one final cast of the runes.
It’s difficult to get into this book without having read the other two in the series, but once you do, the story is fact-paced, exciting, and engaging. While it is definitely a teenage-boy book, the historical sequences when Sky and Kristin travel back in time add flavor to the mythic adventure, with the climatic Battle of Hastings portrayed quite vividly. This adventure series is a great addition to any teenage fantasy fan’s library.
