A deathbed oath leaves the lives of two infants hanging in the balance... Tamworth AD833

After successfully rescuing her husband Lord Coenwulf from the Isle of Sheppey, Icel hears the deathbed confession of Lady Cynehild which leaves him questioning what he knows about his past, as well as his future.

In the unenviable position of being oath sworn to protect their two atheling sons when Lord Coenwulf is banished for his treason against the Mercian ruler, King Wiglaf, Icel is once more torn between his oaths and the life changing secret he now knows.

When the two children are kidnapped, Icel, good to his word, and fearing for their safety, pursues their abductors into the dangerous Northern lands.

He fears whose powerful and deadly royal gamesmanship is behind the audacious attempt on their young and innocent lives.

Alone in the Northern lands, Icel finds himself facing his worse fears.

Can he rescue the children from their captor, or will he fail and lose his own life in the process?
