The year is 1204, and Norway is torn apart in a civil war between the Birkebeiners and the Baglers. Supported by the Birkebeiners' forces, the aging Norwegian King is fighting for survival and keeping his only remaining heir guarded in secret. It’s up to two Birkebeiner warriors to take the two-year-old on a perilous journey through the harsh Norwegian winter and save the future king from the army that wants him killed. Nils Gaup turns this legendary story into a perfect medieval action adventure for the Game of Thrones era.
