In ninth century Wessex, Osric of Wulfstead is a master swordsman whose blade has never failed him. But when Viking raiders destroy everything he holds dear, his skill means nothing against the weight of grief. Denied the men he needs to pursue justice, Osric must choose between duty to his King and vengeance for his family.
What follows is a journey into darkness, a hunt across winter landscapes, and a confrontation with forces that transcend mortal strength. Against a legendary Viking warlord blessed by the old gods, Osric will push beyond the limits of flesh and technique, wielding a deadly art that trades breath for clarity and life for victory.
But some truths are too dangerous for kings to allow. Some heroes too powerful to remember.
Based on whispered legends and fragments of suppressed history, this is the story of a warrior the crown tried to erase, a battle that should never have been won, and a love so fierce it could not be contained by death itself.
