Wrath of The Northmen
Two years ago, King Ælla of Northumbria threw the great Viking hero Ragnarr Loðbrók into a pit of snakes to die. Upon hearing the news, Ragnarr's sons set sail for England to avenge their father. The brothers have since established a firm foothold in York and The Isles. The Anglo-Saxon kings have lost battle after battle — their future looks bleak indeed. But all hope is not lost, and a great hero could still turn the tide of history. Will you lay all of England under Norse rule, or vanquish the Great Heathen Army from Anglo-Saxon soil?
