In the late sixth century, Rheged is surrounded by expanding Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and can no longer assume that its old allies will hold. The Warlord of Rheged and his warriors defend a shrinking British realm while treachery inside their own political network makes every military decision more dangerous.

Battles against Saxon forces are accompanied by murder, prophecy and traditions later associated with Arthurian Britain. The novel presents a frontier world in transition, where British rulers are losing territory and older heroic identities are being absorbed into legend. Survival depends on whether Rheged can resist long enough to remain a kingdom rather than a memory within an increasingly Anglo-Saxon England.
