After years of traveling, Thorgils retreats to Sweden, but is eventually summoned again to assist in coordinating William the Conquerors invasion of England. In September 1066, a Norse fleet of three hundred ships sails towards England and the battle begins. It is a prophetic dream that makes Thorgils warn the troops of the impending disaster at Stamford Bridge, but even he cannot turn aside what fate has decreedthe end of the Viking world.
