Es una peli con muchas taras y un surtido de fortalezas no del todo explotadas, como un guión ilusionante que es torpemente desarrollado. El epílogo, con la narración de Sophia Myles, me pone la piel de gallina y sí le doy una nota elevada: excepcional, épico.

"In the year of Four Kings, Rothgar and Wulfric were laid to rest, heroes in the war against the Moorwens. And Kainan, once a stranger to us, became king. He took for himself a wife, and a boy who became as his own son. But only I knew his secret, that the gods had sent us Kainan. And when it came time to return to them, he chose to stay with us instead."
