The North Atlantic, AD 934. Exiled from Iceland, Einar Unnsson seeks protection from his uncle Thorfinn Skull-splitter, Jarl of Orkney. A warning about his mother’s past and the enemies pursuing him draws Einar into the rivalries surrounding control of the Irish Sea.

Travelling with the Norse-Irish princess Affreca and a company of wolfskin-clad warriors, Einar confronts raids, dynastic ambition and betrayals among kings and jarls. His ability to enter a lethal battle frenzy may keep him alive, but it also threatens the life as a poet and independent man that he would prefer to build.
