Derg, youngest son of Gog, King of the Caitii, longs to be a warrior, a hero-king like his forebears, though he is still a boy, bullied by his elder brothers and ignored by his father. When his half-sister, Anwyn, and Larg the Herder offer to foster him, Derg is overjoyed. But he soon discovers that all is not as it seems and secrets from the past may change all their lives. For Larg was once King's Champion and Anwyn is keeper of a wonderful sword left as a token by her father, a stranger from the North. And it is a time when boys must grow up quickly for Viking raiders threaten not just to kill and plunder but to settle. Yet when Hakon, leader of the Viking force finally lands, it is not gold or land he seeks but the Sword and children of Erith: Derg, Anwyn and Ottar, who is the acolyte of the wise-man, Groug, and wielder of ancient powers.
