#1 The Last Berserker

Two pagan fighters

771AD, Northern Europe. Bjarki Bloodhand and Tor Hildarsdottir are journeying south into Saxony. Their destination is the Irminsul, the One Tree that links the Nine Worlds of the Middle-Realm. In this most holy place, they hope to learn how to summon their animal spirits so they can enter the ranks of the legendary berserkir: the elite frenzied fighters of the North.

One Christian king

Karolus, newly crowned King of the Franks, has a thorn in his side: the warlike Saxon tribes on his northern borders who shun the teachings of the Church, blasphemously continuing to worship their pagan gods.

#2 The Saxon Wolf
March, AD 773. Bjarki Bloodhand has sworn never again to allow that sacred rage to possess him, lest he for ever lose himself in the madness like his father.
Tor Hildarsdottir yearns to save pagan Saxony from the grip of the Christian Franks, who now occupy half the region.
Widukind, new lord of the Saxons, is on a mission to reconquer the lands of his fathers.

#3 The Loki Sword
An ancient blade, fit for the gods but tainted with a deadly curse.

#4 King of the North
Spring, AD 777. Sigurd Hring, new King of the Svear, is summoning all the greatest warriors of the North to his banner.

#5 Blood of the Bear
AD 781. Pagan Saxony groans under the Christian yoke. Every Saxon must submit to baptism and pay tithes to the Church, or face death by beheading.
