King Harald Fairhair is dying. Who will rule in his stead? Viking Age Norway's greatest king, Harald Fairhair, has unified the northern districts into a kingdom, but as he ages and his body weakens, so does his realm. To keep the kingdom from fracturing, Harald abdicates his High Seat to the one son he believes capable enough - and vicious enough - to rule: Erik Bloodaxe. There is one problem: the other sons hate their brother and will not accept his kingship. That hatred leads to an unavoidable confrontation on a rain-soaked hill called Mollebakken - a hill that will decide who will rule and who will die.
