A thieving Chatti berserker named Adalwulf hopes to find a lord with the Marcomanni, but discovers a woman in distress instead. Defending the woman is no small task, and failing, he finds himself framed a murderer. Braving everything, he allies himself with Hulderic, a minor lord, and sets out to seek the captured woman, a lost sword, and a quest to stop a deadly war with Rome.
