A storm is coming.
A storm that will banish the old and deliver the new.

450AD, Britain

Octa has the spear of Woden, but the redemption he sought is out of his grasp. With his banishment and the death of his father, he can no longer return to his Saxon homelands. His only salvation is to join forces with Hengist and Horsa, and their Jutish army that beaches itself on Brittania’s shores on King Vortigern's invitation. But can he trust their motivation or are there greater plans afoot?

When Prince Vortimer, the son of High King Vortigern suspects treachery and encouraged by some well-placed words of a stranger, he rebels against his father and gathers his army to attack the unwelcome visitors.

However, the Gods have their own plans and his fate is not his own to control. War is coming to Britannia and as Octa struggles to understand his role, he knows he has one question to answer. Will he run or will he stand and fight?

The continuation of the epic adventure of turmoil, coming of age and survival set against a time when Britannia was on its knees and fighting for its very existence.
