Description

The gripping activity-packed sequel to The Bright RavenThe Oathsworn have grown to be revered and feared through the world, and although men cower within their existence, popularity comes at a cost. As the Oathsworn enjoy their new found popularity, Sterki, an old adversary with vengeance in his heart, strikes their homestead—the Fjord Elk is sunk, old oarmates die, and the Oathsworn are compelled to flee in to the hills. Abandoned to dropping, the Oathsworn escape to lick their wounds and to take care of King Sigrith, expectant and soon-to keep the heir to the crown of Sweden. Although the desire for revenge is powerful, Orm's first responsibility would be to guard the double, and Orm quickly understands that revenge isn't the only factor on Sterki's mind—he has joined forces with Styrbjorn, nephew of King Eirik and next in-line to the throne if he is able to only eliminate the present heir.
