The son of an old enemy begins a deliberate campaign against Jarl Dragonheart, threatening both the jarl and his family. The Clan of the Wolf is forced to fight Norse, Danes, Franks and Frisians as the feud widens beyond a single opponent and tests the network of alliances that has allowed Dragonheart’s people to prosper.
News of a great treasure hidden in Neustria gives the jarl an opportunity to carry the war onto Frankish territory. The expedition combines vengeance with the practical logic of Viking campaigning: enemies can be punished, warriors rewarded and future threats weakened in the same raid. The novel moves between land and sea as Dragonheart attempts to protect his household by attacking before his opponents can unite.
