The dream of Nikolai Perelyak, a master of historical fencing and a great lover of everything medieval, has come true. He is in the ninth century. And he is a Viking from the team of the glorious Jarl Hrorek the Falcon. Ahead is a great campaign to France, but first you need to spend the winter on the Danish island of Roskilde, the possession of the most powerful and cruel of the Norman kings - Ragnar Lothbrok. Those who think that wintering in the company of Danish Vikings is a continuous feast with warrior friends and cheerful girls , not quite right. There are also cheerful bloody holidays in honor of local gods and merry Norman games, from which not everyone manages to emerge unharmed. And also crazy berserkers, aggressive neighbors and beautiful Danish women who should not be touched without permission, so as not to be left without hands. In a word, it will not be boring. Neither the hero nor the reader.
