A mage from the south is brought north bringing with him the powerful, yet loathsome, Blood Magic that he uses to make a particularly dangerous weapon. Everyone will find their metal and their soul put to the test as two very different societies contend for dominance.

All seems lost until King Alfred finds help in strange places. An Abbot and a Norse bard form an alliance with a man from another era culminating in the history that they didn't teach you in school.

The ancient crime family has hired the ultimate assassin; one who can kill a man in his dreams. Yet the Danes have weapons of their own; foremost is their own strength of character.
