What is Oden's Eye?

A Stone Age megalith?

A runestone?

A warning from the past or and omen for the future?

Ben and Maggie find out when they discover a barrow during their seaside break with their uncle and aunt. Exploring the burial chamber Ben finds a Viking sword. They can make nothing of the inscription along its blade but, unbeknown to them, the dead Viking has heirs who know only too well.

Aided by the gift of a crucifix from a mysterious smith, Ben finds himself stalked by deadly adversaries both natural and supernatural.

Lured out of her way by the sinister Freda, Maggie must find her brother before he pays the ultimate price for discovering the darkest secret of the Dark Ages.

Viking myth meets modern-day menace in a chilling climax full of mystery and horror, where folklore lives and the Old Gods still have to die.
