The Wolf Brethren have been reduced by war, age and disease when a new act of violence creates a blood feud that the Warlord cannot ignore. Saxon mercenaries in King Oswald’s service kill Lann Aelle and his people, bringing the Warlord into direct conflict with Lang Seax while larger powers continue their struggle for control of northern Britain.

Northumbria’s ambitions collide with the strength of Penda of Mercia, and private vengeance becomes inseparable from a contest between kingdoms. With Myrddyn gone and Rheged increasingly vulnerable, the Warlord must fight without the adviser who once helped him read both politics and prophecy. The novel follows an ageing resistance facing enemies who are becoming better organised and more numerous.
