2 parts Complete Crippled in body but not in spirit, Einar finds his power not on the battlefield but in the mead halls, where his mastery of sagas and runes weaves the fabric of his people's identity. Under the mentorship of Ragnar, the revered Skald of his village, Einar learns to transcend his physical limitations, embracing his role as the preserver of their stories and history.
But as the Norse world he knows begins to crumble under the weight of Christian conversion and the unification efforts of Harald Finehair, Einar faces his greatest challenge. Through forbidden love, personal sacrifice, and the strategic use of his sagas, Einar navigates the political currents that threaten to wash away their way of life.
