The fight for vengeance has no victors...
AD 936. Einar Unnsson wants revenge. His mother's assassin has stolen her severed head, and the great warrior Einar is hungry for his blood. Only one thing holds him back. He is a newly sworn-in Wolf Coat, and must accompany them on their latest quest.

Yet, for Einar, the urge to return to Iceland is growing every day. Only there, in his homeland, can he avenge his mother and salve his grief. But what Einar doesn't know is that this is where an old enemy lurks, and his thirst for vengeance equals Einar's...
