Are you tired of sanitized historical overviews that reduce the violent reality of the early Middle Ages to dry dates and sterile maps?

Before he was the terror of the pagan North, Olaf Tryggvason was an exile, sold into Baltic slavery as a child after his royal father was murdered in cold blood. He did not learn statecraft in royal courts; he learned survival in the shield-walls of Garðaríki and the brutal plunder of the Saxon shores. He was a mercenary hardened by blood and iron long before he ever set eyes on a Christian altar. When he finally seized the crown of Norway, he did not offer his subjects a peaceful faith-he brought a choice written in fire and steel: bow to the White Christ, or burn alongside your sacred oak trees.
