Synopsis
When the first Elizabethan explorers arrived back in London from the New World, they brought with them skraylings, mystical rulers of the native American tribespeople. But what do these apparently magical beings, supposedly descendents of the gods of the Norsemen who first discovered Vinland, want in England's capital?
Mal Catlyn, a down-at-heel swordsman, is seconded to join their bodyguard, but he quickly discovers a vicious plot against the skraylings - a plot that is sure to doom them all, he realises, when he comes to learn the full extent of the skraylings' powers.
