"Viking". These people were cursed. These people were admired. Having absorbed northern valor and devotion to the harsh northern gods with their mother's milk, they did not look for easy ways. In search of glory, they left their frozen lands and set off to sail the seas and conquer new territories. And wherever they came, they erected altars in honor of their gods - the red-bearded Thor and the one-eyed sly Odin.  These people went down in history and remained in it forever - under the proud name of the Vikings. "Corsair". Europe is engulfed in the flames of a protracted war between the cross and the crescent. The Saracens stage daring raids on European shores and even dare to land in Ireland. Christian galleys plow the Mediterranean Sea and sink enemy ships. And as fate would have it, at the center of these events is a young Irishman, kidnapped by pirates from his native village.  Which side will he choose? Who will win? And who will be stronger - the cross, the crescent or the Saxon blade. The Saxon prince Sigwulf lost his family, possessions, wealth in the war - everything except his noble name and life itself. His winner, the king of the Angles, sends the captive to the Frankish king Charlemagne as an ambassador, or rather, a noble hostage. At the court of the greatest of the rulers of the Western world, a ruler whose very name has become synonymous with power, love and treachery, learned conversations and bloody battles await Sigwulf. And friendship with the bravest warrior the earth has ever known. The man whose glorious exploits, reckless courage and terrible death Sigwulf will sing, composing the legendary “Song of Roland.”
