The Warlord of Rheged and Myrddyn travel to the Byzantine Empire, where imperial politics draw them into conspiracies far removed from the northern British frontier. The journey reveals more about the origins and meaning of the sword known as Saxon Slayer, but knowledge brings new obligations rather than an easy answer to the wars waiting at home.

Returning to Britain, the Warlord seeks an alliance among Welsh rulers against King Iago and the expanding Saxon powers. The struggle becomes personal when his family is threatened, forcing him to unite political enemies long enough to defend Rheged. The novel connects Mediterranean intrigue with the fragmented warfare of post-Roman Britain and the attempt to preserve a British kingdom against growing Anglo-Saxon pressure.
