Wulfric the Weapon Thane

After three days of gale, Wulfric and his father wait at anchor, home in sight—until a lone boat appears among the white-crested waves, moving too swiftly to be wreckage.

In the days when the Danish host holds Northumbria and presses at Mercia, young Wulfric sails the stormy East Anglian coast with his father, Elfric, a thane who loves the sea as much as his son does. Their trading voyages seem peaceful enough, and the Danes have kept their pact—but Wulfric’s mother fears what may come if they meet raiders. Now, as their ship waits beyond the treacherous sands, a solitary figure rows through a sea no small boat should survive. Who is this stranger, and what will his arrival bring to Reedham?
