Norway in the 930s. Einar is recovering from injuries that prevent him from fighting and make his hopes of reclaiming Orkney seem impossible. Eric Bloodaxe’s followers raid the coast under a warrior known as the Bear, who carries a blade believed to give its bearer unmatched skill.
Einar and the Wolf Coats pursue the Bear and the weapon, but the hunt tests more than physical strength. Unable to depend on the battle frenzy that has previously saved him, Einar must use planning, persuasion and the loyalty of his companions to survive enemies who regard weakness as an invitation to kill.
