Seven years have passed. Aethelred's successor, Aelfwold, has been murdered by the nobleman Sicga, who has installed a new king, Osred. The people of Northumbria suffer under the heavy taxes of these pious kings and the tithes of the greedy bishops. Sicga plots to remove Osred and reinstall Aethelred as king. They need the help of the archers of Stonewood, but Robert, Gemma, Edric, and the rest have been living peacefully secluded in Stonewood, and are not anxious to disrupt their lives, even for Aethelred. But violent, evil change is coming to Britain and even Stonewood cannot avoid the future. To have any chance to face this threat, the throne must be taken back.
