At the onset of the tenth century, England is in turmoil. Alfred the Great is dead and his son Edward reigns as king.

Uhtred, once Alfred's great warrior but now out of favor with the new king, must lead a band of outcasts north to recapture his old family home, the impregnable Northumbrian fortress Bebbanburg.
