About this ebook
Emotions swing wildly in this tense, intriguing tale of mystery and obsession. Ordinary folk react in dramatically different ways as they are caught up in savage struggles between Anglo-Saxon and British warlords.
The story hinges on a fateful night in the kingdom of Northumbria in AD638. Two young men dig up a priceless treasure hoard and re-bury it on a lonely hillside. Prejudice, greed, fear and jealousy shape the many personal stories which have led the men to this point. Events twist and turn over the next few weeks towards a nerve-wracking climax as they are pulled in different directions, their loyalties tested to the limit repeatedly.
