Banished by their own king, a gang of Viking marauders sets sail for the coast of Great Britain. Asbjörn and his men are intent on robbing the monastery on the island of Lindesfarne of its gold – their only hope for buying their freedom from imposed exclusion. But, caught in a vicious storm, their longboat is dashed to pieces on the rocks off Scotland. Trapped deep within enemy territory, the shipwrecked men’s only chance of survival is to reach the safety of the far-off Viking stronghold Danelagh. During their arduous journey through the Scottish Highlands, Inghean, daughter of the Scottish King Dunchaid, falls into their violent hands. When Dunchaid sets his mercenaries, the feared ‘wolfpack’, snapping at their heels, a desperate race against time begins – a battle for life and death.
