The death of Jarl Gunnar Thorfinnson, followed by the killing of his wife and son, leaves the Raven Wing clan divided and vulnerable. Siggi White Hair takes the jarlship to prevent the community from breaking apart, while Hrolf the Horseman begins looking beyond the island for a place where the clan might build a more secure future.

A raid into Frankia gives Hrolf a glimpse of the lands he hopes to claim, but Breton attacks and treachery threaten the plan before it can be established. The novel follows the clan’s movement from survival on Raven Wing toward settlement on the continent, where fighting Vikings, Bretons and Franks becomes part of the struggle to create the Norse foothold that will eventually develop into Normandy.
