In a land teetering on the edge of chaos, the crown of England hangs by a thread. With the tragic loss of his only son, King Henry faces not only the devastating grief of a father but the relentless ambition of the predators who seek to claim his throne. As shadows gather in Normandy and England, and conspirators sharpen their knives, hope flickers dimly in the heart of a kingdom. When the last of King Harold's Housecarls returns to England to die he brings with him a reluctant hero who will save the realm.
