The third book in the Oathsworn series finds Orm and his crew attempting to stay away from the hoard of Attila and the vengeful spirit of Hild.

They have been engaged in a conventional occupation, as hired men fighting for Jarl Brand in the wars to create a king of both Svears and Geats. Salted with plunder and promises that all this is necessary, Orm has kept his men happy and is given land by Jarl Brand. But the Oathsworn are no landsmen farmers, and are busily building a new Fjord Elk when, finally, circumstances force Orm back onto the whale road in pursuit of all the silver of the world.

Two enemies of the Oathsworn have heard of Attila's hoard and are searching for it. Brondolf Lambisson, an old foe, and Klerkon, a new one, conspire to take two of Orm's men prisoner and force the secret of the hoard’s whereabouts from them.

Orm sets sail to the rescue. On the way he releases a strange nine-year-old boy from the clutches of Klerkon, a boy known as Crowbone who claims he is a prince.

This Crowbone repays Orm by killing his hated captor in full public view in the main square of Novgorod, which results in Orm, Finn and others facing the penalty for such an event – death by the stake.

In order to get out of it, Orm has to persuade the ruler of Novgorod, the 12-year-old Vladimir, that the fabled hoard of Attila is real – and that Orm knows where to find it.

So it come about that, in order to rescue his comrades, Orm must lead the Oathsworn, the retinue of Prince Vladimir and the mysterious little Crowbone, back to the burial mound of Attila, out across the steppe in the worst of winters – which the Norse call the White Raven.
