Thirteenth-century Denmark is torn by feuds between the crown and its great nobles. When King Erik Glipping is murdered in a barn at Finderup, the realm passes to his young son, and Ingemann follows the boy king, his mother and their loyal knights through the hunt for the regicides, the outlawing of Marsk Stig and the struggles of a regency.

A broad, Scott-like historical romance by one of Denmark’s most popular authors, in an early English translation. Download the free EPUB.
