In 1068, William the Conqueror holds England through castles and Frankish garrisons, but rebellion continues across the kingdom. Styrkar, formerly a housecarl of Harold Godwinson, is compelled by his most dangerous enemy to travel to Ireland, placing the lives of his companions against the survival of the person he most wants to protect.
The journey takes him through the royal court of Dublin and back to the cold north of England, where local resistance is hardening into wider revolt. Captivity and divided loyalties repeatedly threaten to break him, but Styrkar must decide whether vengeance against the Normans is worth sacrificing the brothers-in-arms who have kept the Red Wolf alive.
