description: As Christendom approached the first millennium, conflict and war prevailed throughout a troubled Scotland. Internal feuding was rife, the population remained under constant threat from bloodthirsty Viking raids, and the High Kings of Scots came and went, their brief reigns usually coming to abrupt and violent ends. Young Cormac mac Farquhar, newly succeeding his father as Thane of Glamis, was to find himself reluctantly caught up in this ensuing national chaos. But little did Cormac know that, out of this legacy of hatred, he would find unexpected happiness.
