Following the tragic loss of his father and village to English invaders, Einar hopes for a tranquil life on their restored farmlands. However, fate intervenes as his village faces another brutal attack, leaving Einar powerless as his family is slain and his home destroyed. Captured by the marauders, Einar is taken to Denmark as a slave, holding onto his mother's words for survival. Sold to the compassionate Ketil, Einar is offered the chance to earn freedom through hard labor. Here, he meets Thorfinn, a desolate fellow slave, and together they toil in the fields, haunted by their past sins and present struggles. Despite the injustices surrounding them, Einar and Thorfinn strive for a future marked by hope, redemption, and peace in a harsh and unyielding world.
