Riassunto

Two thrones, one heir, a thousand enemies. 1067 AD. The Norman conquerors have reached the Saxon village. The aged priest is wracked with pain, the relics of wounds sustained in too many battles fought. He has come to the Saxon village for no other purpose than to tend his wife's grave and to die close to her, but even here there can be no escape from his turbulent past. Born an Irish prince, and once a warrior himself, he guards a secret that, if revealed, spells death. He has distinguished himself in battle against the fearsome Norsemen in Erin and in Wessex. Now, his last great battle has been fought and won, but the High King he serves is dead, murdered by a Viking mercenary. In the process of avenging his king's death, he learns the astonishing secret of his true ancestry. In a verbal joust with an arrogant Norman knight, he experiences a reawakening of his long forgotten warrior spirit and must decide whether to reveal his deadly secret, even though it will lead to his death.
