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. But can he trust their motivation or are there greater plans afoot? The Gods have their own plans though and Octa’s fate is not his own to control as Friga the mother of the Saxon gods battles to avoid a war with the gods of the Britons and Saxons using Octa as her weapon. Prince Vortimer the son of High King Vortigern is angered by his father’s agreement with Hengist and Horsa as they remain unchecked and their numbers swell. He 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. War is coming to Britannia and as Octa struggles to understand his role and fate he knows he has one question to answer. Will he run or will he stand and fight?
