The Warlord of Rheged learns that his brothers are trapped by Saxon forces and must cross hostile territory to reach them. The rescue is complicated by war with Gwynedd and raids from across the Irish Sea, leaving Rheged threatened on several fronts at once and making every movement of warriors a risk to the lands left behind.

Lord Lann and his companions have already survived the collapse of older British power, but the political world around them continues to fracture. Family duty, rivalry among neighbouring kingdoms and the advance of the Anglo-Saxons overlap, forcing the Warlord to decide where his limited strength can matter most while trying to preserve a home that has become increasingly difficult to defend.
