In 965 CE, young Orm Rurikson leaves Norway and joins his estranged father aboard the Fjord Elk. The ship’s crew are the Oathsworn, raiders and mercenaries bound to one another by a pagan oath, and Orm must earn a place among men who treat weakness as a danger to everyone.
Hired to recover a sacred sword, the crew follows a mysterious guide toward the lost hoard of Attila the Hun. The voyage brings pursuit, siege and rivalry with rulers who also want the treasure, while Orm’s first campaign forces him to choose between self-preservation and the brotherhood he has only just entered.
