Princess Mæl Curcaig, better known as Melkorka, is a curious and stubborn young woman, excited for her future. On the morning before her introduction to her future husband, she sneaks away to a nearby monastery to glimpse a treasured possession her father intends to give her and her betrothed on their wedding day. Unfortunately for this young princess, she is in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

When Vikings attack the monastery, the princess and her companions are captured and sold into slavery as thralls (enslaved people) in Norway. Desperate to find some control over her situation, Melkorka sinks into a deep silence, convincing her captures she is mute. She maintains her silence through years of abuse, betrayal, and hardship until one day, a ray of hope fills her life with a greater sense of purpose and a reason to live again. The tale of the Thrall Prinsessa is one full of love, hate, forgiveness, and the power of self-determination.
