By 1038, Harald Sigurdsson has risen to command within the Varangian Guard, the axe-bearing foreign troops sworn to defend the Byzantine throne. As rivalry between emperor and empress draws Constantinople into a struggle for power, Harald must balance loyalty, honour and self-preservation in a court where political defeat can be more dangerous than any battlefield.
