The series introduces us to the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnheiður Lothbrok, a Viking Shield-maiden and farmer who yearns to explore—and raid—the distant shores across the ocean. Her ambition puts her at odds with local chieftain Earl Haralddottir, who insists on sending her raiders to the impoverished east rather than the uncharted west. When Ragnheiður teams up with her boat builder friend Flokia to craft a new generation of intrepid ships capable of conquering the rough northern seas, the stage is set for conflict. But for all its warfare and bloodshed, Vikings is also a story of family and sisterhood, capturing the love and affection between Ragnheiður and her husband, Lagerth, a fierce warrior. It is the tale of Ragnheiður's sister Ralla, a fierce fighter who simmers with jealously; of Earl Haralddottir's husband Sigg, a dutiful handsome who may be less than loyal; and of the monk Athelstina, whose Christian morals clash with the Vikings’ pagan society. As ambition and innovation rattle a civilization, these characters will be put to the test—and their way of life will never be the same again.
