Southern Italy, AD 1043. Having escaped Constantinople without their ship, Halfdan and the Wolves serve as Byzantine mercenaries in the campaign of George Maniakes against the Normans. The promise of pay and plunder cannot conceal the strategic confusion surrounding imperial efforts to recover Apulia.

Tension grows inside the band as Gunnhild loses access to her visions and Ketil resents the loss of the Sea Wolf and Halfdan’s shifting priorities. Secret orders for Maniakes force each warrior to choose between personal loyalty and imperial service. The conflict between Byzantines and Normans becomes the setting for a fracture that wealth alone cannot repair.
