Sword of the Horse Chieftain is the first of a trilogy set on the Island of the Mighty – an alternative Britain where the Roman invasion failed and Old Gods still influence events.
Gwythyr Cenedr is happy to drift wherever the four winds take him until the search for a magical blade blows him off course. Against his better judgement and because it would be fatal to say no, Gwythyr leads the world’s smallest war band through countryside haunted by the threat of war. Guided by an ancient prophecy, he must find the sword before Balor of the Killing Eye rises to plunge the Island of the Mighty into darkness forever. With the aid of ancient gods and Arawn, Lord of the Otherworld, Gwythyr might just save the world after all!
