Kidnapped by Eivor, a powerful Viking jarlskona, Edward, copyist monk, seeks to understand the reasons which pushed his brother Ecbert to commit suicide... Among the documents of the deceased, strange parchments blackened by a hermetic language were found. No one knows the provenance of this letters of occult appearance, but Edward has seen such signs before: in the workshop of Hytham, a man who had taken him under his wing. Hytham belongs to a secret order: "The Hidden Ones". An order that can offer Edward answers, and guarantee his aspirations for freedom and knowledge. For that, Hytham proposes to send him to Lunden accompanied by Niels, a young Viking warrior as undisciplined as he is promising. There, they will undergo quick training in the form of an investigation on the trail of a cult with troubling practices... Following the clues to the mysterious lands of Scotland, they will be confronted with the dangerous stakes hidden within Edward's questions...[3] |
