The Norse thought they could conquer Scotland. They were wrong. Melcorka is an ordinary young woman from the Isles. But when her homeland of Alba is attacked by the Viking horde, Melcorka abandons her life of luxury and chooses the path of a warrior.

With a ragtag band of companions, she heads south to unite the clans and free the land from the Norsemen's scourge - and claim her destiny. The principal historical frame is Viking Age. Historical cultures and voyage traditions provide the framework for a fantasy in which myth, oral memory and supernatural power shape Alba’s struggle for survival.
