Now lord of Bebbanburg, Uhtred faces a new Norse challenger who claims divine favour and seeks to establish a kingdom in Northumbria. The conflict draws in Saxon, Danish and Scottish interests as older political arrangements begin to break apart.

Uhtred must defend his lands while judging the ambitions of Edward’s heirs and the loyalties of neighbouring rulers. The novel explores a north in which prophecy, raiding and royal succession threaten the fragile balance around Bebbanburg.
