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.

"I used to believe that if you were family, you were accepted. The same went for your friends." I glanced over at Bjorn as he stared at the floor full of anger and regret, "In the past years, I have realized that this life is unforgiving-the gods are unforgiving." I sighed and placed my hand on top of his, "Like Father once said, unhappiness is far more common than happiness." New threats build as Ragnar Lothbrok rises to King of all Norway. Adventures rise and friend and foe both fall. Tragedy strikes when faith, trust, and friendship are tested. Life is about adaptation and choices, which will the House of Ragnar be forced to make. (Season 3 of the T.V. show of The Vikings) *I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW*
