Jack is the main character in the book, Sea of Trolls. As an eleven year old apprentice bard in the village, he learnt entertaining skills such as singing and dancing, and even some magic tricks. When the village was attacked by the berserkers, Jack and his sister, Lucy who was 5 years old, were captured by the berserkers. He had to face and survive many challenges to save his sister and himself. He had to deal with psychic trolls, savage berserkers, and mysterious Norns. Jack was a brave person, and could always find a way to solve his problems and get out of dangerous situations. Jack's sister, Lucy, believed herself to be a lost princess, and even thought the whole ordeal was an adventure that she would have to survive to gain the throne. She did not realise how much danger they were in.
Thorgil was a 12 year old berserker. In the beginning of the book, she and Jack hated each other. However, at the end, the two young kids became very good friends. Jack helped Thorgil when the other berserkers were teasing her, saying that women couldn't make poetry. When they were being attacked by a dragon, Thorgil protected Jack. Olaf One-Brow was the leader of a group of berserkers. Jack and his sister were almost sold as slaves by Olaf. But Jack managed to show his talent as a bard, which amazed Olaf. Olaf decided to keep Jack and his sister on their boat. Jack and Olaf eventually became friends. While Jack was performing a song to the queen of the berserkers, he accidentally put a magic spell on the queen that caused her hair to fall out. They heard that there was a Mimir's Well in Jotunheim that could give them unlimited knowledge to get anything they wanted. Together, Thorgil, Jack, and Olaf set off to search for Mimir's Well.
They were facing many challenges on their way searching for the Mimir's Well. Unfortunately Olaf died while he was protecting Jack and Thorgil from a troll-bear's attack. When Jack and Thorgil were attacked by a dragon, Thorgil protected Jack and killed the dragon. Eventually, Jack and Throgil finally found Mimir's well. They drunk the water from the well and went back to the queen. They managed to restore queen's hair. Jack and Lucy went home safely at the end of the story.
