## Summary

The battle of all battles falls upon the peoples of Herot. Weapons forged, loyal and armed, men, women and children brace themselves to wage a brutal attack with Beowulf (Kieran Bew) helming their defence.

Having bought some time holding the Wulfing Raiders and Abrecan’s (Elliott Cowan) army back at the Draca Bridge, Slean (Ed Speleers) awaits the troops from the Alliance to arrive, but when only a few, bedraggled Banning warriors arrive in Herot for the epic fight, it becomes clear that Slean’s efforts may have been in vain…

Nevertheless, the people of Herot band together and face the impending doom head on with valiant honour.

Along the way, secrets are revealed, new loyalties and friendships forged; whilst others are irrevocable shattered, and some of our characters make the ultimate sacrifice…
