Viking warrior Einar embarks on a thrilling quest to reclaim his destiny in this captivating historical epic by Tim Hodkinson. After enduring devastating injuries, Einar finds himself powerless to defeat his rival, Eirik, who has treacherously seized Orkney, despite Einar's rightful claim as the Jarl. Eirik's men, led by a fearsome warrior known as the Bear, launch a devastating raid on the Norwegian coast. With a legendary blade in his possession, the Bear wields unmatched combat skills. Einar recognizes the immense potential of this extraordinary sword to achieve his goals, but he must first confront the Bear and navigate a complex web of old foes and new challenges. As Einar battles for survival, he questions whether a man incapable of wielding a sword can truly embody the spirit of a legendary Viking warrior.
