Year 859. A Viking fleet travels to Seville, one of the richest cities of the moment, with the aim of devastating and looting it. However, everything is in failure, and the northern warriors are captured by the governor of the city, who demands an inordinate ransom for their release. When the news reaches their village, the women decide not to surrender and, together with some children and slaves, hire a small group of mercenaries who will teach them how to fight. A year later, the rescue expedition will be ready to set sail. It seems like an impossible mission, which, from the beginning, will be fraught with misfortune and adversity. An adventure novel that shows us the most human side of the Viking civilization, as dazzling as it is terrifying, in a raid that landed on Spain’s shores.
