In the alternate year 1121, Denmark and Norway have submitted to the crusaders, while resistance survives only in the forests and hills of central Sweden. Gjaldir, once a slave and now a war leader, regains the star-forged sword known as the Light of the North. With kings dead and formal armies scattered, he must turn ordinary people and isolated warbands into a force capable of challenging foreign rule.
