But can they overcome the Viking menace?.
Even with their imbalanced fortunes, the paths of the two brothers are bound to cross with powerful kings and strong leaders, including King Aethelred, Thorkell the Tall and Edmund Ironside.
While Aelfwynn begins a patriotic battle against Viking raiders, Folcwin\'s fame as a scribe increases.
After Folcwin is selected the victor, his brother is accused of murdering another competitor, and he escapes.
Their lives, enlivened by sibling rivalry, are upset by a competition to illuminate a commissioned psalter.
