Ragnvald has long held to his vision of King Harald as a golden wolf who will bring peace to Norway as its conqueror—even though he knows that Harald’s success will eventually mean his own doom. He is grateful to have his beloved sister, the fierce and independent Svanhild, once more at his side to help keep their kingdom secure. After a heartbreaking end to Svanhild and Solvi’s illicit marriage, she is now one of Harald’s many wives.

While Svanhild is happy to be reunited with her beloved brother, and enjoys more freedom than ever before, she is restless and deeply lonely. When a pirate captures her long-neglected daughter, Freydis, Svanhild follows her to Iceland, where an old love awaits. This strange new land offers a life far different from what each has left behind, as well as unexpected challenges and choices. Ragnvald, too, must contend with change. His children—the gifted Einar, the princely Ivar, and the adventurous Rolli—are growing to adulthood. Harald’s heirs have also grown up. As he begins to step back from his duties as king, his sons pursue their ambitions. But Norway may no longer be large enough for so many would-be kings.

Though Ragnvald and Harald are in their twilight years, another battle awaits. A growing rebellion pits Ragnvald and his sons against enemies old and new. As Freydis and Einar learn to emerge from their parents’ long shadows, Ragnvald suffers a tragedy that could sever his bonds with Harald and all who care for him.

This compelling conclusion to the Golden Wolf trilogy re-creates Viking-age Scandinavia in all its danger, passion, power, and glory—a world of brutality and myth, loyalty and betrayal, where shifting alliances and vengeance can build kingdoms . . . and can tear them down.
