Sceapig, 798. Deer herder Deormund encounters Viking raiders on the Isle of Sheppey and kills their leader while escaping pursuit. He keeps the chieftain’s inscribed sword, unaware that the weapon’s history will make him the target of men determined to recover it.
Service in a local thegn’s household reveals Deormund’s ability as a fighter, and the attack on Lyminge Abbey makes the wider danger impossible to ignore. Charged by the Archdeacon of Canterbury with helping defend the island, he must learn whether the sword’s reputation represents supernatural power, inherited vengeance or an enemy’s determination to reclaim a symbol of command.
