In 1076, After the slaughter of his comrades in Iberia, Thorkell leads the few survivors to Constantinople, the Great City, capital of the Roman Empire. He finds the empire in a state of bloody confusion. The emperor is under siege, attacked by a mighty rebel host, while his realm is torn apart by civil war. To gain the emperor's favour, Thorkell leads his English warriors in a desperate attempt to break the siege of Constantinople. At the same time a young and ambitious Roman general, Alexios, raises a new army in the east. The tale of this bloody and brutal time is written by Thorkell Skaldsson, once a bard in the service of Waltheof, the last English earl.
