Pendant des siècles, un feu a balayé l'Europe. Il n'a cessé de faire rage, mettant les nations et les royaumes à sa merci, et ce feu venait du Nord. En raison d'une série de déclencheurs sociopolitiques, les Vikings ont surgi de leurs foyers du nord en Scandinavie et ont déferlé sur tous les royaumes d'Europe — au sud, à l'est, à l'ouest et au nord. Maîtrisant la navigation des océans et dominant les voies fluviales, ces féroces Hommes du Nord ont embarqué sur leurs rapides drakkars et ont inauguré un tout nouveau chapitre de l'histoire de l'Europe.

It is AD 935, and Hakon Haraldsson has just wrested the High Seat of the North from his ruthless brother, Erik Bloodaxe. Now, he must fight to keep it. The land-hungry Danes are pressing from the south to test Hakon before he can solidify his rule. It does not help that Hakon is committed to his dream of Christianizing his people - a dream his countrymen do not share and will fight to resist. As his enemies move in and his realm begins to crumble, Hakon and his band of oath-sworn warriors must make a stand in Raven's Feast.

A ruthless Viking warrior who named his most prized battle weapon after the Norse goddess of death, Olav Haraldsson and his mercenaries wrought terror and destruction from the Baltic to Galicia in the early eleventh century. Thousands were put to the sword, enslaved, or ransomed. In England, Canterbury was sacked, its archbishop murdered, and London Bridge pulled down. The loot amassed from years of plunder helped Olav win the throne of Norway, and a century after his death he was proclaimed "Eternal King" and has been a national hero there ever since.
