399AD Set in the mysterious, wolf-haunted forests of North Germania, amid the warring tribes of the late 4th Century, comes the true story of an Anglo-Saxon prince, who became an outcast, who became a legend. Offa remained a mute, cast out from society, until the day the Saxons entered his father's hall, demanding the blind King's submission. True to the old warrior-code, thirteen year old Offa finally breaks his self-imposed silence. To restore the balance and regain his clan's lost honour, Offa challenges not one but two enemy warriors to mortal combat. Standing alone, before hundreds of enemy warriors, surrounded by an otherworldly mist, clad in a wolf pelt, his heart beating to the sound of enemy drums, Offa stood firm, Stedefæst in hand; refusing to show fear or intimidation. He wasn't fighting for fame, for the Gods, or for personal honour. He was fighting for his father, a waning Kingdom, and to restore the honour and grace of the noble Angles, the clan who would later give their name to Ængla land - England. His fight would become legend! Offa explores the wolf-coat culture and the Woden-cult of the Anglo-Saxons, in an epic, true saga of the English-folk.
