England, 989. Two generations after the fall of Erik Bloodaxe, renewed Viking attacks threaten the peace built by the descendants of Alfred the Great. Olaf Tryggvason and Skarde Wartooth sail for the English coast seeking vengeance and conquest, while Beornoth, a scarred and battle-hardened Saxon thegn, joins Ealdorman Byrhtnoth of Essex in resisting them. Beornoth must confront both the raiders and the guilt of his own past as he tries to protect the communities placed in his care.
