Summary:
In 786 AD, the invading Viking forces are repelled from the shores of England, leaving behind a young boy--Erik, son of the slain Viking king. Years later, Erik, raised by the English queen as her own, becomes Duke of Helford, while across the sea, his brother Eron assumes leadership of the Viking horde and sets his sights on conquering England once again, setting the two estranged brothers on a collision course that will determine the fates of their respective kingdoms.
