Ninth century Norway is a land of bloody and civil strife, fanatical religious upheaval, and exploration. At its center is the warrior Kveldulf Bjalfisson, a drug addict and father willing to become a monster in order to save his son from his sworn enemy - King Harald Fairhair. This historic tale of war, peril, and atonement launches a new series of books for Heavy Metal, with a stunning cover by veteran artist Brian Stelfreeze.
