England, 994. King Æthelred's authority is weakening as bishops, nobles and rival factions compete to direct royal policy. Sweyn Forkbeard's growing power encourages further Viking attacks, while Beornoth is summoned back into service to carry out the king's reprisals against suspected enemies. Forced to campaign alongside a brutal Norman warband, he enters a conflict in which political loyalty is uncertain and service to the crown may demand actions as dangerous as fighting in the shield wall.
