In 1069, William the Conqueror has strengthened his rule through castles and Frankish lords, but resistance survives in eastern and northern England. An outlaw leader has established an island fortress, while Edgar Ætheling and Styrkar travel to Denmark seeking the alliance needed to challenge the Norman king.

William answers revolt with a winter campaign intended to remove the population and resources that support it. As villages, crops and livestock are destroyed during the Harrying of the North, Styrkar must choose between the final pursuit of revenge and the defence of people facing collective punishment. The Red Wolf’s war reaches its conclusion amid famine and devastation.
