Families from the Norse community on the Isle of Man are kidnapped and carried to Ireland, forcing Jarl Dragonheart and his warriors into a rescue expedition. The pursuit brings them against both Irish fighters and renegade Vikings, making it difficult to distinguish an enemy defined by politics from one who shares their language and customs.
Tadgh, responsible for the abductions, escapes and draws the clan into a wider chase that eventually reaches the lands of the Angles. What begins as vengeance becomes connected with the search for the lost treasure of Rheged. The novel follows a war band moving through the Irish Sea world, where raiding, settlement and old feuds bind Man, Ireland, Wales and northern England together.
