The chill spray of the northern sea mats Aelwen's pale hair as she stands rigid on the deck, her gaze fixed and frigid. Behind her, a line of women stands ready, their axes and shields a grim wall. The air is charged with the memory of betrayal—Roderick's knife in the dark that took her father, Brynmor, from her. Aelwen's jaw sets like stone. She has sworn an oath that will end only with Roderick's death. Now, a prisoner lies bound at her feet, a man who once tracked her people like prey. The tension is a living thing, and the sea wind screams like a soul in torment.
