Raef is plunged into the epic struggle for the throne of England
After fleeing Constantinople and the wrath of the Emperor, Raef Corbanson has washed up with his companions on the coast of Normandy. His former patron Gunnhild is dead, and Raef is commanded to return to his father's hall in Jorvik, in England.
Duke Richard of Normandy has sent his sister Emma to be wife to Ethelred of Wessex , the King of England.
