993 Before the eyes of young Thorstein, his father is killed, and he himself falls into slavery. Thus begins the difficult path of the future shipbuilder and warrior. By the will of fate, he finds himself in the thick of historical events, because power in the Norwegian lands is gradually seized by a new king, who instills the Christian faith with fire and sword. Stein will have the opportunity to see both the ruler himself and his opponents, but in his desire to survive at any cost, to find his older brother and to avenge the death of his father, he becomes a member of the legendary brotherhood of Jomsvikings, whom some called murderers and robbers, while others called them noble warriors with their own unbreakable code of honor. But in the unpredictable and dangerous world of the North of the 10th-11th centuries, nothing lasts forever, and death can await everywhere, because even the most fearless Viking is powerless before it.
