Outline
Having landed downstream of the waterfall, the crew is scattered. A group of Pechenegs find the grounded boat and capture Harald. The rest of the crew reunite but Leif leads half of them to rescue Harald whilst Cadlin, one of the former slaves, didn’t survive the fall. Harald is brought before Tyrach, a Pecheneg leader, who tortures him until Leif arrives with Kurya and Tyrach sends word to Kurya’s brother, the Khan. Before Leif and Harald can be killed, Eleana and the former slaves Brigtoc and Dorn free them. Leif kills Tyrach, but the group are forced to flee when the Khan’s forces arrive. They reach the boat and return it to the water as Kurya confronts his brother and kills him with Miriam’s poison. Before Kurya can be dismembered by the Khan’s now vengeful men, Leif mercy kills him. In Novgorod, Olaf leaves to search for Jomsborg after his ambitions are renewed when he’s blessed by the local Bishop. In Jomsborg, Freydís brings the Jomsvikings and pagan refugees together, allowing them to worship in the previously restricted temple, whilst Gudrid regrets allowing Jorundr’s exile. Alone and dying at sea, Jorundr is discovered and rescued by Olaf.
