Young Thorfinn was raised on tales told by aging sailors who had crossed the seas and reached the legendary land of Vinland. It was described as a warm and fertile place, a world without conflict—nothing like the icy village in Iceland where he was born, and far removed from his present life as a mercenary. War has become his reality. Although his father once taught him, “You have no enemies, nobody does. There is no one it is right to harm,” Thorfinn came to understand, as he grew older, that the world did not share that belief.

The conflict between England and the Danes intensifies year after year. Death is now an everyday occurrence, and the viking mercenaries revel in the carnage. Choosing to support either side could dramatically shift the balance of power, and the vikings are eager to build their reputations and claim whatever rewards come their way. Amid this turmoil, Thorfinn is driven by a single goal: to avenge his father by killing Askeladd, the man responsible for his death. For the vikings, it seems that the only true paradise is an age consumed by endless war and bloodshed.
