Plot summary
Britain, 871. King Bagsecg is at war with the Saxons and lies mortally wounded after a battle. He calls his sons together: Harold, next in line for the throne, and the younger Steinar. Also absent is Hakan, the eldest, who left more than ten years earlier after a quarrel with his father whose cause Steinar has never learned. Bagsecg dreads leaving the throne to Harold, who would rather negotiate than fight. Instead he charges Steinar with a near impossible errand: travel deep into English territory, find Hakan and bring him back to take the crown. Steinar leaves with his friend Hagen, Grim, a Berserker, and Jokul, who reads omens, and his half brother Vali joins them later. The reclusive Viking Ivar is their first hope of learning where Hakan is.
