Danger and challenge awaits Helgi, the young Icelandic boy, when he joins the service of King Olaf of Norway.

The Norweigians in 1025 were just emerging from their medieval allegiance to the old folk gods. Feudal lords, unwilling to relinquish their powers to a king, make the divided country easy prey for its powerful neighbor Denmark.

Helgi serves King Olaf as he attempts to unite the country and point a way to a new Norway.

Historically accurate and full of adventure.
