You can't change your fate - so throw yourself into battle, because you'll either win or wake up drinking mead in the halls of your ancestors. That's what Finn's tribe believe. But when their settlement is massacred by a hostile tribe and Finn and several friends, companions, and rivals make their escape across a brutal, unfamiliar landscape, Finn will fight harder than he's ever fought in his life. He wants to live - even if he lives only long enough to tell Thyri Treelegs how he feels about her.

Dug Sealskinner is a down-on-his-luck mercenary traveling south to join up with King Zadar's army. But he keeps rescuing the wrong people. First Spring, a child he finds scavenging on the battlefield, and then Lowa, one of Zadar's most fearsome warriors, who has vowed revenge on the king for her sister's execution. Now Dug's on the wrong side of the thousands-strong army he hoped to join - and worse, Zadar has bloodthirsty druid magic on his side.

Iron Age warriors Dug and Lowa captured Maidun castle and freed its slaves. But now they must defend it. A Roman invasion is coming from Gaul, but rather than uniting to defend their home, the British tribes go to battle with each other - and see Maidun as an easy target.

Caesar's soldiers have murdered, massacred, and pillaged their way through Gaul and loom on the far side of the sea, ready to descend upon Britain - with them are an unstoppable legion of men twisted by dark magic. Somehow Queen Lowa must repel the invasion, although her best general is dead and her young druid powerless. She faces impossible odds, but when the alternative is death or slavery, a warrior queen will do whatever it takes to save her people.

Battling across the Shining Mountains, the questers discover a land more terrifying and filled with more dangerous creatures than they could ever have imagined - and they've fought thunder lizards. The tentatively allied Wootah and Calnians must survive monster attacks, flash floods and tornadoes to uncover the secret of The Meadows. And then comes the hard part. To save themselves and everybody else they will travel west of west, deeper into danger, and do all that they can to defeat a goddess who has already killed all the other gods.

A mismatched group of refugees must battle animals and monsters, an unforgiving land, and each other as they cross a continent to fulfill a prophecy. Newly and uneasily allied, two tribes from different worlds set off across the Ocean of Grass. Their mission is to fulfill a prophecy and take Ottar the Moaner west of west, to save mankind. In their way are the denizens of the Badlands, the most terrifying and powerful collection of murderers and monsters the world has ever seen.

Battling across the Shining Mountains, the questers discover a land more terrifying than they ever could've imagined - and they've fought thunder lizards. All the while fighting and falling in love, the tentatively allied Wootah and Calnians must survive monster attacks, flash floods, and tornados to uncover the secret of The Meadows. And then comes the hard part. To save themselves and everybody else, they will travel west of west, deeper into danger...and attempt to take on a goddess who has already killed all the gods.

König Zadar ist besiegt und Burg Maidun eingenommen - doch schon müssen sich Dug und seine Freunde neuen Herausforderungen stellen. Vor allem Lowa schlägt sich mit allerlei Problemen herum - Feinde von außen, Rivalen von innen und unfähige Spione machen der Kriegerin ihren Karrierestart als neue Königin von Maidun nicht gerade leicht.

Dug Sealskinner hat die ewigen Schlachten satt. Er weiß genau: Es gibt alte Krieger und mutige. Beides zugleich aber gibt es nicht. Und er fühlt sich grässlich alt. Alles, was er noch will, ist ein warmes Feuer und eine regelmäßige Wachablöse hinter schützenden Mauern. Doch er hat seine Rechnung ohne die starrsinnige Bogenschützin Lowa gemacht, die ihn in ihren persönlichen Rachefeldzug hineinzieht - ein ganzes Heer auf ihren Fersen.
