When Gods meddle in the affairs of mortals, it never ends well... for the mortals. Wrongfully accused of his father's murder, Osric is forced to flee his homeland, barely escaping with his life. He vows to return one day in vengeance and reclaim his birthright as King of the East Angles. Determined to make good on his word, Osric makes allies and enemies along the way, finding friendship in the most unlikely of places, starting with a youthful farrier and a Thief who knew Beowulf. He encounters elves and witches, giants and dwarfs, finding love and heartbreak.
