What is Viking blood about?
In 1008 AD, young Viking Tor Scaldbane dreams of becoming a legendary warrior. When a raid goes disastrously wrong, an injury seems to end his hopes for ever. As Tor struggles to recover, he turns to the sagas of his ancestors, filled with fierce battles, brave heroes and powerful Norse gods. Inspired by the stories of Thor, Loki and Odin, Tor begins to question what true courage means—and discovers that his own adventure may only just be beginning.
