Smoke stings the air as Eivor rides into Lunden. Sigurd drones on beside him, recounting last night’s revels. The city sprawls ahead—a patchwork of Roman stone and Saxon pride. Soldiers line the streets, hands hovering over hilts, eyes narrowed. Above, English banners snap in the wind. The King demands an audience. Eivor knows that look: a crown hiding a knife, a smile masking a threat.
