The story

In AD 895, in the North Atlantic, King Aurvandill "War-Raven" returns to the island of Hrafnsey, reuniting with his wife, Queen Gudrún, and his heir, Prince Amleth.

After sacking a village in Garðaríki, he encounters a Seeress in the temple of Svetovit.

When most of the slaves are rejected as defective, Amleth displays his strength and aggression to impress Fjölnir, who ultimately decides to keep him and Olga due to her beauty.
