A new Warlord leads Rheged at a moment when Northumbrian power is expanding and old alliances among the British kingdoms are becoming unreliable. Threats from outside are matched by uncertainty within the coalition, as rulers who once shared an enemy begin to calculate what they might gain from one another’s weakness.

Treachery forces the warriors of Rheged to defend their homes while a larger confrontation develops between Edwin of Northumbria and his Mercian and Welsh opponents. The novel builds toward the Battle of Hatfield Chase, where the political balance of northern Britain is violently altered and the future of the remaining British resistance depends on surviving the collapse of a powerful enemy.
