After the campaign against the Norse, Melcorka the Swordswoman is unsettled. She wishes revenge on Egil the Norseman, yet knows that Defender - her magic sword - cannot kill without cause. After a visit to the seer Fitheach, Melcorka receives a dire warning.
With the help of pirate leader Osprey and Hector, leader of the Ulvust, they forge on toward the Standing Stones of Callanish to face the most fearsome foe of all: The Shining One. The principal historical frame is Viking Age. Historical cultures and voyage traditions provide the framework for a fantasy in which myth, oral memory and supernatural power shape Alba’s struggle for survival.
