A gripping, powerful, action-packed historical thriller, about vengeance and coming of age, set in Anglo-Saxon Britain. Beobrand is compelled by his brother's almost-certain murder to embark on a quest for revenge in the war-ravaged kingdoms of Northumbria. The land is rife with danger, as warlords vie for supremacy and dominion. In the battles for control of the region, new oaths are made and broken, and loyalties are tested to the limits. As he closes in on his kin's slayer, can Beobrand mete out the vengeance he craves without sacrificing his honour... or even his soul?
