Description
In the wild times of the eighth century, ships of the Vikings and the Uí Neill clan, the most powerful lineage in the British Isles, meet at sea. Coastal kingdoms bow to the raiders from the north, and Celtic kings die with Norwegian steel in their bodies. Only a few are saved by their daughters, who, with tears in their eyes, obediently lay down on the beds of the yellow-bearded and red-haired Viking jarls, bringing as a dowry both their innocence and the lands of their fathers to the Northern chieftains. During this wild time, a mute man brings a message - and that very night, someone murders him. King Owain mac Sigurd of Orkney feels fear for the first time in his life about what awaits him. Nevertheless, he commands the ships to set sail from Bee Bay, beneath which his castle towers, and to steer their bows westward... A historical novel with a touch of mystery by a successful author of both fiction and non-fiction.
