Publisher's summary

Summer comes to Ireland, and an uneasy peace holds at Loch Garman. The Northmen, eager to get to sea, work relentlessly on their ships, with the aid of their unlikely allies, the Irish, who are just as eager to see them go. But not everyone is willing to just let them sail away.

Certain that God demands the heathens be punished, the one-eyed warrior turned monk Brother Becc is determined that Thorgrim and his men will not simply go free. And when another band of raiders arrives, Becc finds the excuse he needs to take action.

Meanwhile, in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex, murder leads to a violent struggle for the seat of ealdorman, ruler of the shire of Dorset. Desperate as each side is to tip the balance of power their way, no one imagines the upper hand might come from the direction they least expect - from the sea.

Truly am going to miss Thorgrim until next time ..

I'm so anxious to see the next book, but I know it may be a while. Truly a riveting saga.

A Look at Viking Life

Well written and fairly fast moving, this story paints a good picture of early life in Ireland and England during Viking invasions.
