Offa: The Wolf of Angeln
399 A.D.
Set in the mysterious, wolf-haunted forests of North Germania, amid the warring tribes of the late 4th Century, comes the true story of an Anglo-Saxon prince, who became an outcast, who became a legend.
Offa remained a mute, cast out from society, until the day the Saxons entered his father's hall, demanding the blind King's submission. True to the old warrior-code, thirteen year old Offa finally breaks his self-imposed silence. To restore the balance and regain his clan's lost honour, Offa challenges not one but two enemy warriors to mortal combat on a snow-covered island, known as ''Monsters' Gate''.
Standing alone, before hundreds of enemy warriors, surrounded by an otherworldly mist, clad in a wolf pelt, his heart beating to the sound of enemy drums, Offa stood firm, Stedefæst in hand; refusing to show fear or intimidation. He wasn't fighting for fame, for the Gods, or for personal honour. He was fighting for his father, a waning Kingdom, and to restore the honour and grace of the noble Angles, the clan who would later give their name to Ængla land – England. His fight would become legend!
Offa explores the wolf-coat culture and the Woden-cult of the Anglo-Saxons, in an epic, true saga of the English-folk.
