The Time Machine

The Viking prince Einar, son of conqueror Regnar, doesn’t know his slave Erik is really his half brother and the rightful heir to the Northumbrian throne in England. Their relationship gets even more complicated because of the rivalry over the English princess Morgana, who is engaged to the current Northumbrian king Aella. At the same time, the Vikings are preparing for an attack on Northumbria.
