The foolish King Ethelred has fled, and Askeladd's band is one of hundreds plundering the English countryside. Yet victory brings no peace to the elderly Danish King Sweyn, who worries that his untested, sensitive son Canute will never be ready to take the throne. The king's attempt to force his son to become a man places the young prince within the grasp of the gleeful killer Thorkell! Whoever holds Canute holds the key to the thrones of England and Denmark – and Askeladd has his own reasons for joining the fray!

Getting more hooked by the story
The art is still awesome, maybe even a bit better than in the first volume—great battles and duels, a lot of very nice landscapes.
The story also doesn’t loose the quality presenting Thorkell—super cool and intimidating—, some mystery with the prince and some part of Askelad's past. Overall it’s one dangerous event after another with no flashbacks this time. Also interesting to see what's happening with Thorfinn's family.
Can't wait to see what's next.
