In the ancient Scandinavian lands, Leif Frodesune begins his quest to break the chain of destiny after suffering the loss of his lifelong mentor, Snorri, by the fate brought upon him by the gods. Blood and vengeance for his fallen will be had as Leif rises and usurps the power of the man who stole his mentor's life. Sailing through the seas, Leif sets out on his bloody conquest to rise up against the gods through his own power and will.

On his travels, he learns of the darkness that plagues the people and vows to step out of fear and bring his people into the light. Will he be ready to face the challenges yet to come?
