He is eager to test his sword against the warriors of this land and plans to set sail.King Hakon forbids him. He is oath-bound to honor his king's command. Yet he and his fellow Wolves want more from their lives. They lust for gold and glory. Breaking his oath, Yngvar contrives to sail for the Midgard Sea to the strange country known as Langbardaland. Yet the gods do not treat lightly with an oath-breaker. Soon their wrath is set upon Yngvar and his crew.
