Qualcuno li chiamava Lupi di mare, altri semplicemente vichinghi. Per due anni Osric ha vissuto una vita tranquilla, anche se temuto ed evitato per il suo passato misterioso e il suo occhio rosso sangue. Quando i predoni dall'altra parte del mare saccheggiano il suo villaggio, si ritrova prigioniero del loro capo, Sigurd il Fortunato. Immerso nel mondo dei norvegesi e spinto dalla loro brama di avventura, Osric si dimostra un autentico guerriero e crea un profondo legame con Sigurd.

Raven und seine Wikingerkrieger haben gelitten. Gute Männer sind den Schlachtentod gestorben, hart erkämpfte Reichtümer sind wieder verloren. Aber für die Nordmänner gibt es etwas, das für sie wertvoller ist als alles Gold und Geschmeide dieser Welt – Ruhm! Und so segeln die eingeschworenen Kämpfer nach Konstantinopel, jener sagenumwobenen Stadt, die sie Miklagard nennen. Auf ihrer Reise von den windgepeitschten Marschen der Camargue zu den Resten dessterbenden Roms müssen sie sich n neuen Gefahren und Kämpfen stellen: Der Weg zu Gold und Ehre ist mit Blut gepflastert.

Der junge Osric, genannt Blutauge, lebt ein ruhiges Leben in seinem Dorf bis seine Gemeinschaft eines Tages von Plünderen niedergemetzelt wird. Osric gerät in die schonungslose Welt der Nordmänner, in der er ums Überleben kämpfen muss. Doch der Hunger nach Abenteuer macht einen Krieger aus ihm. In Blut und Schweiß schmiedet er eine tiefe Freundschaft zu Sigurd, mit dessen Mannen er sich auf den Pfad von Krieg und Eroberung begibt.

Der mächtige Sigurd Haraldarson kämpft in Schweden als ruhmreicher Söldner. Noch immer dürstet Sigurd nach Rache an König Gorm, der vor Jahren seinen Stamm verriet. Doch das Glück verlässt Sigurd und seine Mannen. Er gerät in die Gefangenschaft des gnadenlosen Jarl Guthrum und wird wie ein Sklave gehalten. Im Tempel von Ubsola soll Sigurd den Göttern geopfert werden. Doch noch ist er nicht besiegt – mit bedingungsloser Härte lehnt Sigurd sich gegen sein Schicksal auf.

Raven, den man als Blutauge kennt, und seine Wikinger-Brüder sind verraten worden. Der missgünstige Ealdred ist geflohen - in das Reich von Kaiser Charlemagne, wo angeblich unendliche Reichtümer versteckt sind. In der Wut brennender Rache machen Raven und sein Wolfsrudel harter Kämpfer sich auf in das Land der Christen, wo die Heiden unbekannte Gefahren, finstere Intrigen und große Schlachten erwarten.

Norwegen, A. D. 785: Der Wikingerclan unter Führung von Jarl Harald steht vor einem neuen Sturm der Schwerter. Die harten Kämpfer ziehen für ihren König Gorm in die Schlacht: Drachenboot gegen Drachenboot. Doch der verräterische König lockt Harald und seine Mannen in eine tödliche Falle. Ihr Dorf wird vernichtet, Frauen und Kinder niedergemetzelt oder in die Sklaverei gegeben. Nur wenige entkommen, darunter Sigurd, der jüngste Sohn Haralds. Fortan widmet Sigurd sein Leben der Vergeltung.
