Norway in 993: Young Torstein has to watch helplessly as unknown warriors savagely killed his father. He is enslaved, but he manages to free himself and finds a new home on the Orkney Islands within a year. But he is not supposed to live a peaceful life: He has to flee again as he falls in love with the wrong woman. After months of wandering, he returns home. Finally, he realizes what fate has in store for him: In the great sea battle near Svold, where the Scandinavian empires are fighting for supremacy in the north, Torstein unexpectedly faces the murderer of his father – who now wears Norway's royal crown.
Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen succeeds in narrating the story of Torstein in an exciting way and illustrating the eventful time in Europe around the turn of the millennium. It is not least his historical expertise combined with narrative talent which makes his book so gripping and fascinating for the reader.
