Terra degli Angli, Anno del Signore 866. Quello che un giorno diventerà il regno d'Inghilterra è ancora una terra divisa in piccoli territori guidati da sovrani barbarici, appena convertiti al cristianesimo. E dal mare giungono strane navi dalle polene simili a draghi, le murate ornate di scudi: portano uomini feroci, vichinghi – che significa pirati –, guerrieri del Nord, danesi soprattutto.

Captain Richard Sharpe nimmt noch einmal all seine Kraft zusammen und führt seine Truppen zum Sieg. Doch ehe Sharpe den Säbel für immer ablegen kann, wird er vor ein Militärgericht gestellt. Die Anklage: Raub von Napoleons persönlichem Schatz. Sharpe flüchtet und beginnt den Kampf seines Lebens. Dabei besitzt er nur eine Waffe: die unerschütterliche Entschlossenheit, Rache an dem Mann zu nehmen, der seine Ehre beschmutzte.

Nationen er delt, hvilket i højere grad skyldes interne magtkampe end truslen fra vikingerne.

Og hun mangler sin staerkeste soldat, Uthred af Bebbanburg. Så scenen er sat for en eksplosiv kamp over en tom trone. Englands fremtid haenger i en tynd tråd. Man mangler en helt. En helt, der i sidste ende kan afgøre nationens skaebne... Ottende bog i serien om Uthred og sakserne og kampen for at forene England.

England befinder sig i en tilstand af skrøbelig fred. Northumbriens vikingehersker, kong Sigtryggr, og saksernes dronning Æthelflaed har sluttet våbenhvile. Så nu får Englands største kriger, Uhtred af Bebbanburg, endelig chancen for at generobre det hjem, hans svigefulde onkel stjal fra ham for mange år siden. Men en ny fjende melder sig på banen, da den frygtindgydende Constantin af Skotland går ind i kampen om England, og den usikre fred er i fare for at udvikle sig til en altudslettende krig. Ingen fjende, ny eller gammel, skal dog afholde Uthred fra at kæmpe for sit hjem.

Ein Hilferuf aus Mercien erreicht den Krieger Uhtred. Er soll einer belagerten Stadt zu Hilfe kommen. Doch der Notruf war nur eine List, um ihn aus Northumbrien fortzulocken. Dort fällt in Uhtreds Abwesenheit ein furchtbarer Gegner ein: der Nordmann Sköll Grimmarson, an seiner Seite ein gefürchteter Zauberer und sein Heer von Úlfhéðnar, Wolfskriegern, die vor nichts zurückschrecken. Der Feind nimmt Uhtred das Liebste, was er hat, und der Schmerz bringt ihn fast um. Doch wer Rache will, muss kühl und klug sein.
