The Call of the King

Young Norseman, Njal Tokeson, had his entire village, destroyed by a mysterious man in a silver mask when he was but a child. Ten years later, Njal lives as a slave to a kind farmer outside of Birmingham. But after meeting a young Englishwoman named Frigyth, Njal's true identity as heir to the Nordic throne has been revealed by the dangerous Lords of England, a group of masked men that rule the young country.

They feel threatened by Njal's namesake as he could end up uniting the remaining Norsemen together creating a force that could rival the Lords of England. Njal and Frigyth journey across the country in search of allies as the Lords attempt to annihilate any and all Norsemen they find.
