Amid the warring kingdoms and contending faiths of seventh-century Britain, Oswiu struggles to hold on to the throne against the onslaught of the last great pagan king. After Oswald dies, the great pagan king Penda becomes overlord. Oswald's younger brother Oswiu takes control of Bernicia, while a relative of Edwin rules the neighbouring southern region of Deira. In the struggle between Bernicia and Deira, Oswiu finally orders the assassination of the king of Deira, winning the throne but provoking outrage.
