Varangians are elite Norse mercenaries, known as men of the pledge. They are the most feared warriors of the Viking Age. Their strength and bravery are unmatched. They do not fear death. 980 AD: A doomed castle in eastern Europe is surrounded by enemy soldiers. The king offers a mountain of silver to any mercenary army who would defend his territory and beat back the invaders. Against brutal odds, the Varangians answer the call. One among the Varangian Guard stands out - Buma, a skilled warrior from Iceland.

With a tangled web of lies closing around him, Buma must choose sides...with the fate of an entire kingdom hanging in the balance!
