Blood on the Blade

Erik and his Norse family live in Orkney under a political order they can no longer trust. When the Norwegian king conspires with their local jarl to seize control, remaining at home becomes more dangerous than abandoning everything they have built. The family escapes south and east toward the lands north of Mercia.

Flight turns Erik from islander into migrant warrior. The journey forces his people to negotiate unfamiliar rulers, rival Norse interests and the unstable boundaries of Viking-age Britain. Survival depends on finding a place where the family can defend itself without simply exchanging one overlord for another.
