Ragnarr, the Viking in all his glory, sails the seas in search of exploits. But when he sets out to conquer England, he faces a dire fate: he is thrown into a pit of snakes. There, he recites his dirge, the Song of Kraka, a sumptuous skaldic poem. His fearsome sons, Ivarr Boneless, Hvitserkr the Vigorous, Björn Ironside, and Sigurôr Snake-Eye, will come to wreak horrible vengeance on his murderer, King Ella of England. The Saga of Ragnarr loobrok, here accompanied by the translation of the Tale of the Sons of Ragnarr and the Song of Kraka, is a masterpiece of ancient Scandinavian literature. It has haunted the West for centuries; today, the Vikings series is dedicated to it.
