Einar Unnsson will be a great warrior, whether he wants it or not...
AD 935. Late Winter, City of Jorvik. Icelandic nobleman Einar Unnsson is destined to be a great Viking warrior. He has already defeated the men sent to kill him by his notorious father, the 'Skull Cleaver' Jarl Thorfinn of Orkney. He has a gift that makes him lethal in battle.
And he has cast it all off to become a bard.
Yet when Einar is attacked, it is not his poetry but the skilled archer and Norse-Irish princess Affreca who saves him. She'd assumed Einar had left to raise an army, challenge Thorfinn and seize Orkney. Now she knows the truth, she's determined to set him back onto his rightful path.
Einar soon finds himself entangled in Affreca's own mission. She's seeking the Raven Banner, a banner that legend has it is imbued with powerful magic: a gift from the Norse God Odin, which will make any army that marches behind it victorious in battle.
But many desire the Raven Banner. Soon, Einar has no choice but to face his fate and swing his sword once more...
