The mist parts to reveal Ragnar, King of Kattegat, standing amid the ashes of a devastated village. Fire crackles around him as he stares, motionless, at a young captive held between his warriors. His eyes, hard as ice, fix on her, ignoring the chaos. She, soiled yet radiant, lifts her head. The air grows thick, charged with an electric tension between conqueror and prey that seems to defy the gods themselves.
