Synopsis
To the North of theHoly Roman Empire lie the pagan Norse-lands. It is here that Manfred, Prince of
Brittany, and his Icelandic bodyguard, Erik, must venture in the dead of winter. To a rugged land of trolls
and ice, to find a Pagan relic, something so magical that should not be possible to touch it, let alone steal
it. Yet, it is gone. Unless it is recovered before Yuletide, a new Viking age will be born. King Vortenbras
will lead his berserks in an orgy of rapine, looting and destruction across the Empire's unguarded flank.
 Princess Signy is the King's older stepsister. Everyone believes her to be the thief, a witch and
murderess. Everyone but Cair, her stable-thrall, an ocean-plucked man with a hidden past. Cair doesn't
believe in witches or magic, let alone that Signy could steal and murder. And if he has to drag the
foremost knight of the age and his bodyguard kicking and screaming through the entire Norse underworld
to prove it, he'll do it. No kobold, dwarf or troll is going to stop him or his scepticism. Not the wild hunt.
Not even a grendel. He doesn't believe in this superstitious rubbish. He's a man of science, and he's used
that to fake his way into being feared as magic-worker. But for Signy, he'll be all of mankind's witches.

He'll have to be. Because that's what it'll take to defeat the dark magics massed against her.

A tale of intrigue, murder, love and magic set in the alternate history world SHADOW OF LION and
THIS ROUGH MAGIC.
