ELFGIFT. The elf's get and the Goddess' darling fights to keep his throne. If he loses, he loses everything: crown, love and life.

Elfgift's Christian half-brother, Unwin, will never be satisfied until Elfgift is dead. He vows that, on capturing Elfgift, he will hand him to his Danish allies, to be sacrificed to Odin. The sacrifice of the Blood-Eagle.
It's a gruelling war, but Elfgift is sustained by the love of the Goddess he fights for -- until She asks for the life of his brother, Wulfweard.

Wulfweard's life is owed to Odin, the Goddess tells him. He must choose. Will he have his brother at his side, or his Goddess?

A brief truce, to celebrate Jul and Christ's Mass, ends in brutal treachery. Elfgift falls into Unwin's power. Will the Goddess come to his aid. Or has She deserted him?
