In the dying light of a blood-red sky, a lone raven circled the ancient battlefield, its caw slicing through the silence like a warning from the gods. This raven was no ordinary bird—it was the last of Odin’s messengers, the final harbinger of war. And with its shadow came a reckoning that even the mightiest sons of the North could not escape.
Centuries after the fall of Ragnar Lothbrok and the fiery vengeance of Lagertha, a new generation rises in the fjords of Kattegat—unaware of the curse left behind. The old legends have grown quiet, reduced to sagas told by drunken skalds in flickering firelight. But deep in the bones of the North, the past is restless.
At the heart of this new tale is Eirik the Hollow, a warrior haunted by dreams of a burning tree and a raven dripping blood. Unlike his kin, Eirik hears whispers in the wind—forgotten voices of the gods, of ancestors betrayed, of oaths broken beneath the moon. He carries a blade once buried with the last Seer—a weapon no man should wield.
Trouble begins when a mysterious ship, black as pitch and silent as death, appears on the icy shores of Vestfold. No crew, no markings. Only a single object lies on its deck: a raven skull wrapped in the torn banner of Ragnar’s forgotten clan. The message is clear—someone has returned.
The elders speak of an ancient pact that was never fulfilled, forged in blood and sealed with death. Ragnar’s descendants, known as the Sons of the North, once promised their loyalty to the gods in exchange for dominion over land and sea. But that promise was broken—and now, the gods demand payment.
As Eirik gathers the remaining heirs of the old bloodline, including the fierce shieldmaiden Thora Bloodsong and the brooding outcast Sigvard One-Eye, they are hunted by phantoms from the mist. The line between the living and the dead grows thin, and shadows twist like serpents through the forests of Norway.
Each step northward is a descent into forgotten truths and forbidden rituals. They uncover lost relics—bones etched with runes, ships frozen mid-battle beneath glaciers, and temples buried in volcanic ash. The land itself seems to mourn, and every raven they see feels like a spy for something ancient… and angry.
The group discovers that the Last Raven is more than a sign—it is a curse bound to Eirik’s bloodline. Only he can break it, but doing so will require a sacrifice none of them are prepared to face. The gods are watching. And so is something far worse—the one who never died.
In a storm-wracked valley where the final battle once raged, they must confront the truth: the ghost of Ragnar walks again. But he is not the hero the sagas remember. Twisted by betrayal and forgotten by time, he has become something else—a revenant king.
The Sons of the North must choose: surrender their birthright to end the curse, or fight and risk becoming the very monsters they swore to destroy. Blood will be spilled, oaths will be tested, and the raven will decide who lives to see the dawn.
