Outline

Seven years later, Harald and Leif are fighting the Saracens in Sicily to capture the fortress of Syracuse. They are led by General Maniakes but have not been able to capture it in the six months of the siege. Harald tells Emperor Romanos that his Varangians can take the fortress. Leif shows Harald the tunnel that they have been digging under the Saracen wall where a secret tunnel filled with explosives branches off from the main tunnel. Their plan works and the secret tunnel collapses when the Saracens pour oil into it by mistake, allowing the Emperor’s army to gain access to the fortress. Meanwhile in Jomsborg, Freydis is raising her and Harald’s son, also called Harald, by herself and is the leader of the settlement. She is impressed with Stígr, a healer who is a new arrival at the settlement, and by his martial arts style skills which he claims to have learned during his travels in India. Freydis asks him to teach Harald and later, they sleep together. In Rome, King Canute and Queen Emma, along with Godwin, try to make a deal with the Pope. Godwin tries to bribe the Pope’s Cardinal but Emma tells him it will not help them in the long term.
