On the eve of her marriage, Catarine climbs the cliffs near her Scottish home to calm her nerves and assuage her misgivings. Looking across the North Sea, she discovers Vikings rowing their longships toward her home. She scrambles down the cliff desperate to reach the safety of her father's keep only to find the gates barred against her. Catarine seeks shelter in a village's hut, but is discovered and raped by one of the invaders. Thrown aboard a longship, Catarine and six other village women are taken to Norway as slaves. Months later, she overhears two Norsemen talking about killing their overlord and tells the chieftain's son, Thursten, what she has learned. Catarine and Thursten become entangled in a plot by the Danish king to overthrow Norway.
