Outline

In Greenland, Freydis finds Aki’s body and demands justice when she confronts her father Erik over the murder. However, Erik tells her if she kills him, she will never see Harald again and locks her in a storehouse. Hilde, Freydis’s mother, tells Stígr that Harald is with Kalaallit people in the north; Stígr leaves to find Harald while Freydis escapes and goes to Kattegat with the traders to get a ship. In Constantinople, Maniakes makes himself Emperor and gives Zoe two options: marry him and remain Empress or be killed and replaced; Zoe chooses to marry Maniakes. Meanwhile, Harald feeds the crows in the prison some bread soaked in wine and, when they are unconscious, ties strings to their feet which he sets on fire. The crows flee to their nests, which then catch fire and set the roof of the prison ablaze. Harald frees himself in the chaos and kills Maniakes in one-on-one combat. Magnus reaches Kattegat, kills one of his men, destroys his face and proclaims it to be the uncorrupted body of his father; he then forces Bishop Grimketel to lie for him. He meets Canute and Leif and goes to northern Norway. Bishop Grimketel tells Leif that Freydis was poisoned in Jomsborg by Magnus. Meanwhile, Canute appoints his successors: Svein to continue ruling Norway, Harthacanute to rule Denmark with Harefoot as his regent, and Emma to rule England. Canute and Emma make their peace with Ælfgifu and return to England, with Harthacanute and Harefoot going to Denmark and Emma’s sons Edward and Alfred returning to Normandy.
