In 994 A.D. sixteen-year-old Conla O'Feargal is captured by Viking marauders and sold into slavery to a landholder in Iceland. Five years later O'Feargal escapes and makes his way across the sea to Dublin. He is soon befriended by the Black Cloaks, a rebel band opposed to the Danes. O'Feargal proves to be a fierce warrior. When the Black Cloaks become allied with the army of Brian Boru - the strong hand of Ireland - O'Feargal follows the great leader to Glen Mama, and takes part in a bloody battle that will change his life - and alter the course of Irish history - forever.
