Plot Summary

After his father is betrayed and murdered, a young fisherman seeks revenge, and undertakes a quest that will take him from the dusty sierras of southern Spain to the wave-battered rocks of northern Britain, where he encounters wild outlaws and brutal Viking warriors, and confronts the depths of human depravity and compassion.

Along the way, he is guided by his own peculiar sense of honor, which ultimately leads him to question the nature of his own goal.
