The Warlord of Rheged takes the offensive against the Saxons, leading an army intended to recover territory rather than merely defend what remains. His campaign is threatened by plots and ambushes that place both his son and Prince Cadwallon in danger, revealing how fragile cooperation between allied rulers can become under sustained pressure.

The fighting moves across northern Britain toward a decisive confrontation at Wrecsam. Personal loyalty, dynastic interest and battlefield necessity repeatedly collide as the war determines which kings will retain power. The novel treats the struggle for Rheged as part of the wider contest from which the political map of early medieval Britain is being remade.
