"Be wise, brothers. Bury the battle-axe. Instead, your revenge should be to build a better life."When a brutal Frisian raid destroys young Hengest's village and slaughters his kin, he swears a solemn oath: to avenge the blood spilled and make the Frisians pay. Hengest grows into a fierce warrior, carrying his hatred like a sword at his side. But vengeance breeds vengeance, and the blood feud he begins will not be easily ended.
As war rages across the northern seas and loyalties are tested, Hengest must choose between conflicting demands of loyalty and honour.
