Sometimes, the world needs a bad man.

Banned for killing a nobleman's son, Viking warband leader Asgrim seeks redemption and a way home again. But no man could hope to raise the princely blood debt placed upon him. When he learns of a great treasure hidden away beneath a monastery on a Frankish island, Asgrim thinks fate has given him one final chance.

But Asgrim has been tricked.

Deep beneath the stones of the Black Monastery, a demonic entity has escaped. If it isn't stopped, it will drench the coasts of medieval Europe in blood.

Now, Asgrim's only help is Alda, a Frankish woman falsely accused of witchcraft and cast out by her own people.

But how can they save others if they can't save themselves?
