Outline

The Byzantine army returns to Constantinople, but Leif is traumatised by the use of his invention to slaughter the Syracuse civilians. Both Maniakes and Harald are awarded the title Spatharokandidatos by the Empress Zoe (formerly Eleana) which is the highest title awarded to warriors. It is revealed that Harald now has enough money to raise an army to take the throne of Norway and is secretly having an affair with Zoe. Harald finds Leif destroying his collection of scrolls to stop their contents being used to harm the innocent. Leif decides to leave for Corfu to locate the mapmaker who drew the map he found in Syracuse. King Canute and Queen Emma visit Emma’s brother and her sons from her first husband, Edward and Alfred, in Normandy. Their own son Harthacanute and the Duke of Normandy, William, who is Emma’s great-nephew, are also present. Godwin arrives in Denmark to meet Canute’s father, King Forkbeard and his own wife Gytha and their two sons who introduce him to Harald Harefoot, the second son of Canute and Ælfgifu, who harbours ambitions to become the next king of England. During the Midsomar festival, they are attacked by Wends and, seeing Harald fight bravely, Godwin agrees to help him become king. In Jomsborg, Freydis has a vision of a land with golden trees and hears The Seer calling out to her. She mulls on whether to leave Jomsborg and find the land in her visions with Stígr. Magnus soon approaches and she makes a plan to save her people.
