Neither men nor gods will stand in his way...

On the east coast of Ireland thirteen-year old Finn finds the sword of a slain Norseman, and with Odins raven watching, is given the name Stormcrow. When Finns family is torn apart by a random act of violence, and the sword lost, he embarks on a quest for revenge with his oldest friend, the shaman Vekel.

It is a path that will lead to the court of the High King of Ireland, Máel Sechnaill, and to the Norse city of Dyflin, ruled by Sigtrygg Silkbeard. Crewing on a longship, Stormcrow raids up and down the Irish coastline, seeking not just riches but vengeance for his murdered father. Against a backdrop of political alliances made and broken, battles won and lost, Stormcrows life as a Norse raider seems certain until he meets Sigtryggs new wife.

In the eye of the storm, Stormcrow dices with death yet again.

Only the gods know if he will survive.
