Here’s the official synopsis:
Set years after Vikings, the end of the Viking Age draws near as England stands against them. After the death of King Edward the Confessor, three lords make claim to the English throne. Leif Erikson has led Greenlanders across the North Atlantic. He is loyal to his family, but has trouble with his father, Erik the Red. Freydís Eiríksdóttir is his half-sister. A sexual assault by Christian Vikings has made her anti-Christian and she becomes the leader of the Old Norse religion against rising Christianity in Scandinavia, and will look for a new home for her people. She is romantically drawn into a relationship with Torsen, a Christian Viking from a royal family. Torsen is part of a battalion that is being assembled by King Harald Hardrada to avenge the massacre. He is guided by Alienor, his queen and Earl Colby, an Anglo-Saxon counselor.
