Dragonheart has reached adulthood and leads his Ulfheonar against Saxon enemies, beginning the career in which his reputation will become inseparable from that of his war band. A chance discovery in a cave confronts him with evidence about his own past and changes how he understands the loyalties that brought him to power.
Campaigning against Saxons and Irish foes carries the warriors across land and sea and eventually to the conquest of Anglesey. Victory, however, revives an older enemy before the clan has time to consolidate what it has gained. The novel follows a young leader learning that success creates obligations and enemies as quickly as it creates wealth, territory and fame.
