"Neither men nor gods will stand in his way..."--On cover.

On the east coast of Ireland 13-year-old Finn finds the sword of a slain Norseman, and with Odin's raven watching, is given the name Stormcrow. When Finn's family is torn apart by a random act of violence, and the sword is lost, he embarks on a quest for revenge with his oldest friend, the shaman Vekel. It is a path that will lead to the court of the High King of Ireland, Máel Sechnaill, and to the Norse city of Dyflin, ruled by Sigtrygg Silkbeard. Crewing on a longship, Stormcrow raids up and down the Irish coastline, seeking not just riches but vengeance for his murdered father. Stormcrow's life as a Norse raider seems certain until he meets Sigtrygg's new wife. In the eye of the storm, Stormcrow dices with death yet again. Only the gods know if he will survive.
