Dublin, 873. Seven years after his confrontation with Ivar the Boneless, Hundr has become a wealthy and respected Viking war leader. A call for help takes him and the Seaworm's crew across the Irish Sea to Viking Dublin, where Eystein Longaxe threatens an old ally. The rescue develops into a struggle for survival among competing Norse factions and Irish powers, testing Hundr's authority and the loyalty of the warriors who follow him.

Dublin is both a Norse stronghold and a contested Irish port, so Hundr’s intervention cannot remain a private rescue. Viking leaders compete over tribute, trading routes and followers while Irish rulers seek opportunities created by their divisions. The campaign tests whether Hundr’s authority rests on wealth and reputation alone or on the continued willingness of his crew to follow him into other men’s feuds.
