Episode #11 "The Canbrai Accursed"

From three brothers are the family clans of the Canbrai descended, yet a curse has been laid upon the seed of Oswald. For untold generations his progeny have been shunned as the "awierged", the accursed. Ealdræd and Eiji, thrown up by the sea in shipwreck, fall among the Oswaldmægþ, the outcasts of the isles. But who is the girl called the Mædencild, said to have the power of wælcyrige, the hex known as “the chooser of the slain” by which she can lay the hand of death upon any, and what revenge will she take upon those who have set them apart? This is the bloodiest and most violent of all Ealdræd's adventures.
