A Sea Queen's Sailing

A blaze erupts over a coastal hall in Caithness, sending black smoke drifting across the heath. In the chaos, a young warrior watches his lineage crumble as his father and brothers fall, leaving him the last of his line. Bound and left amid the ruins, he must endure captivity while the enemy—strangers from the inland—loom over the shattered stronghold. The opening thrusts listeners into a stark world of fire, loss, and the harsh codes of Viking honor.

From these ashes rises a saga of ancient seafaring, anchored in meticulous research of real Viking vessels unearthed in Scandinavia. As the young man joins a crew aboard a reconstructed funeral ship, he confronts the brutal realities of navigation, warfare, and the promise of a hidden treasure tied to a forgotten king. The tale weaves together clash of Danes and Irish, island hermits, and the looming threat of storms, inviting listeners to feel the salt, wind, and steel of a bygone age.
