Rescued as an infant from the wreckage of his boat, Caelin ap Cadwyr has come to be raised as a Norseman, far from his homeland, his family, and his destiny. Given a new name - Rathulf Thorvaldarsson - the orphaned Briton is unaware that his chosen path as a Viking warrior is soon to be thrown wildly off course. 

Saeric, a recently escaped slave, is running for his life. Prompted to flee his Saxon masters by visions of his younger brother, Saeric runs westward towards his former home. Weakened by years of thralldom and hindered by the iron chains that bind his ankles, he eventually succumbs to his exhaustion, to be found by a new master.

Entering Viking manhood is no easy feat, and Rathulf Thorvaldarsson’s journey has been harder than most. His 16th year is no exception, as everything he once knew to be true is torn away by malicious gods and mortals. All the while, Norse-raised Rathulf struggles to accept the inevitability of his royal British heritage, as visions of his long-dead brother continue to haunt him.
