The opening of the novel introduces readers to Redwald, a young thane's son, as he witnesses the ominous arrival of the Danes on the shores of East Anglia. Initially filled with the pride of youth, he soon finds himself engulfed in tragedy as his father and the local warriors ride into battle, never to return. As the story unfolds, Redwald must deal with the immediate threat of invasion, rushing to warn his betrothed, Hertha, and rallying the defense against the Danish forces that loom ever closer.
