A successful raid on Lundenwic brings Jarl Dragonheart wealth but also the hostility of a Danish clan determined to answer the insult. When Aiden is kidnapped, the jarl and his warriors are forced into a rescue that reveals both a greater treasure and a connection to events from their own past.
The feud expands beyond a private quarrel as Mercia and Wessex move toward battle. Dragonheart’s small band becomes caught between kingdoms whose rivalry is reshaping southern Britain, while the Danish threat remains close to home. The novel links seaborne raiding with the territorial wars of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, showing how one expedition can create consequences far beyond the value of the treasure taken.
