{"product_id":"the-sterkarm-handshake","title":"The Sterkarm Handshake","description":"The Sterkarms have plundered the border between Scotland and England for generations. Suddenly intruders, calling themselves Elves, want the Sterkarms to stop their violent ways.\nThe Elves, time travelers from the 21st century, have found a way back to the 16th century and plan to do their own plundering of the land's rich natural resources. Their only mistake is foolishly underestimating the Sterkarms themselves.\nFor Andrea Mitchell, an anthropologist working among the Sterkarms, none of this matters. In love with Per -- a young Sterkarm warrior -- and feted as a beautiful Elf-May, she's never known such happiness in her own time.\nBut when Per receives a deadly injury, Andrea's decision to take him into the 21st century to save him has explosive results. Per, seeing how powerful and destructive the Elves truly are, swears to keep them from his land forever. And in the bloody battle that ensues, Andrea must finally choose whose side she is on.\nThe Sterkarm Handshake is a stirring tale of a clash of two cultures, beautifully told by master storyteller Susan Price.\nBooks for the Teen Age 2001 (NYPL)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060289597\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0060289597.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Price, Susan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
