The 5th Century A.D. The Dark Age.
Abandoned by the Romans, facing slaughter by raiding Picts and Saxons, Britain stands on the brink of catastrophe. Only one man can save the nation: VORTIGERN. His adopted name means High King, but he is an outsider from the far west, despised by the establishment and opposed by jealous rivals who will block his path to power.
Vortigern’s greatest ally is young warrior Kerin Brightspear. Bound by oath and love to Vortigern, who saved him from death as an abandoned child and raised him with his own sons, Kerin yearns to prove his worth to the man he idolises. But time is running out. Beyond the borders, enemies are growing stronger by the day. Can Kerin seize the chance to repay his debt as Vortigern bids to become all that his name proclaims: lord of the Britons, the High King?
