He grew up among the Varangians, rising from a powerless slave to a free warrior in the jarl's squad.

But fate and the spell of Veles, once cast on him by a sorcerer, will not allow the Slavic youth to serve the enemy. Having killed the earl's brother in a duel, Skald is forced to flee from reprisals to the island of free Vikings, who are not subject to any king.

Will the blood and fury of battles wash away the memory of the lost Motherland?
