== A New World ==
Odyssey of the Vikings takes place in a land similar to ours's, but still different, prone to Gods, magic, the supernatural, but also some of the same turns our history takes. Twelve years prior to the start of the first book, a large conflict took place between the Vikings and the Slavics. Many came in support of the old King Arni, the most powerful of the Vikings and King of Sweden, last of a powerful line that claims descent from Gods, as he seeked vengeance for the deaths of his sons, leaving him without heir. Amongst them were the Lothbroks, hidden true sons of Odin. The war ran its course, leading to many deaths, the fall into insanity for Arni, the collapse of the old Viking standards, and a new legend, Ragnar Lothbrok. 
Since then, Ragnar, his brothers, and his wife and children have resided in Kattegat, a small Viking trading center, nowhere near where it used to be under Jarl Toke, or even his late son, Earl Emund, but both were dead now, Toke to alcohol, and Emund to a trial-by-combat for the Earldom against the now Earl, Haraldson. Ragnar is leader of raids, and shares a hatred for the arrogant old Haraldson, supporter of the old King Arni, even when he was mad. Ragnar sees how Haraldson drives Kattegat into nothing, and Ragnar can do something no one else can: speak to Odin, his father. This ability and favoritism from his father allow him the ability to know things and get tips before they happen. 
So as tensions grow, chances arise, and Ragnar's time nears, a new world sits to the west, as does Ragnar's destiny. So, as he maneuvers the complicated world of the Vikings, waiting to reveal his true lineage alongside his brothers, whilst also meeting new people, and protecting his family, what will he become after finding such a place.
