In AD936, Brittany is torn apart by war. Many nobles have sought refuge in King Athelstan’s England, including Louis, prospective king of Francia.
Einar and the Wolf Coats, disillusioned by events in Norway, are also at Athelstan’s court.
When Louis decides to take up his throne, Athelstan sees a way to make a crucial ally: a powerful noble whose support Louis needs. And Athelstan has just the men he needs to carry his message… and undertake a secret mission.
The Wolf Coats’ quest is fraught with danger and foreboding, for the world is changing.
Pagan kings clash with Christians, Vikings assail Francia, and Einar and his crewmates risk death at the centre of the storm.
