Newly returned to Orkney from their mission to liberate the Horn of the Kraken, Fjorn, the bastard prince, and his band are dispatched to secure another item of power before the forces of the White God can confiscate it to serve in their war against the Norse way of life.

What secrets does Jolnir, a newcomer to the group, hold and will they endanger the quest? For this and more, read on.
