Scandinavia, 883. Harald Fairhair rules Norway and Bjorn Ironside holds power in Sweden, but Finn, the Crippled King of Mann, is gathering an army under the banner of Loki. Hundr and Einar enter the final campaign against a ruler who intends to destroy their alliances and plunge the northern kingdoms into a war presented as Ragnarök. The saga's long-running feuds and contests for kingship converge in a struggle for the future of the Viking world.

The conflict is presented as a struggle over legitimacy as much as territory. Harald and Bjorn possess established followings, while Finn attempts to mobilise dissatisfaction through older religious symbolism and the promise of overturning the existing order. Hundr and Einar must decide whether preserving alliances between rival rulers is the only way to prevent a personal feud becoming a wider Scandinavian war.
