This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. "The Northmen had very great honour who went into service there ..." 1076 AD. After the slaughter of his comrades in Iberia, Thorkell leads the few survivors to Constantinople, the Great City, capital of the Roman Empire. He finds the empire in a state of bloody confusion. The emperor is under siege, attacked by a mighty rebel host, while his realm is torn apart by civil war. To gain the emperor's favour, Thorkell leads his English warriors in a desperate attempt to break the siege of Constantinople.

The Northman has one last saga to tell ...
