Synopsis
Coast of Brittany, 822 A.D.
King Abriel Haraldsson is a man on the run.
Injured in combat, his warriors take him to a nearby monastery to find a healer. The monks accept to care for him, but fake his death and steal him away to a distant island to be reconverted to their faith.
Believing the king of Herius to be dead, suitors from the north descend upon the island kingdom with the intent to marry Queen Kenna to usurp her husband's lands and wealth. Most terrifying among them is the fierce warlord Turgeis -- known for his prowess in battle and lust for blood -- who sets his sights upon the queen.
When a messenger from afar returns with news that Abriel survived his injuries, Turgeis sets sail to ensure the king will never return.
