      Není chvíle odpočinku – boj o švédský trůn Orm a muži z jeho přísežného bratrstva ve čtvrtém díle Lowovy vikinské ságy bojují… Přísežné bratrstvo zbohatlo a získalo si věhlas i úctu ve vikinském světě. Sláva ale přináší také závist a nepřátele. Ormovo sídlo v Hestrengu je opět napadeno a on se musí i se svými muži stáhnout do hor. Přísežní bratři ale nejsou zvyklí vzdávat se. Vrátí se, ale brzy si uvědomí, že útočníci jen zdánlivě chtěli loupit. Ve hře je totiž mnohem větší kořist – právě sjednocené Švédsko – a Orm s přísežnými bratry střeží královnu Sigrith, která má brzy porodit dědice trůnu.
