Ragnar is intent on avenging Kjartan. Can Uhtred come to his brother's aid without defying the king? A confrontation with the Northmen brings a shocking turn of events.

Uhtred is under orders from Alfred to rid Northumbria of the warlord brothers Erik and Sigefrid, but Ragnar is now free and intent on avenging Kjartan for the death of his family. Can Uhtred come to his brother's aid without defying the king? Gisela and Uhtred make a promise, before he journeys north and confronts Guthred for his incarceration and Halig's death. Finan has an idea for how to attack the brothers, and the results of the confrontation are shocking. Odda voices some concerns about Uhtred's intentions but Alfred is confident he can keep Uhtred on a long leash, and Beocca brings hope where it is most needed.
