In this exciting historical adventure from the author of the bestselling Bernicia Chronicles, warrior-monk Hunlaf must overcome desperate foes on a mission for Charlemagne.
797 AD. Carolus, King of the Franks - the legendary Charlemagne - is the most powerful man in Europe. But when his holiest relic is stolen, Carolus’ status as the premier Christian king is suddenly threatened.
With the thieves fleeing back to their homeland, the kingdom of Mercia, who better to recover the relic than Hunlaf, warrior-monk, adventurer, and fellow native of Britain?
Pursuing the Mercians across the sea, Hunlaf and his motley crew must secure victory by guile and strength of arms. But there are other dark forces at play: bitter pagan enemies who want the relic for their own unholy purposes. Enemies who will happily reap a harvest of heads in order to destroy the hated King of the Franks.
Surrounded by foes seen and unseen, this will be Hunlaf’s biggest test yet, as he travels deep into a deadly kingdom of blades.
