  • In
  • Helvik,
  • a
  • single
  • rule
  • governs
  • the
  • people:
  • ‘No
  • person
  • of
  • Helvik
  • may
  • kill
  • another
  • person
  • of
  • Helvik.
  • Any
  • person
  • who
  • breaks
  • this
  • rule
  • is
  • no
  • longer
  • a
  • person
  • of
  • Helvik.’Gunnarr
  • remembers
  • a
  • time
  • before
  • the
  • rule,
  • when
  • blood
  • feuds
  • and
  • petty
  • rivalries
  • led
  • to
  • endless
  • death.
  • In
  • the
  • days
  • since,
  • an
  • uneasy
  • peace
  • has
  • fallen
  • over
  • the
  • town,
  • and
  • Gunnarr
  • has
  • made
  • himself
  • the
  • man
  • to
  • enforce
  • it.When
  • an
  • innocent
  • friend
  • suffers
  • from
  • a
  • breach
  • of
  • the
  • rule,
  • Gunnarr
  • rushes
  • to
  • deal
  • retribution.
  • Too
  • late,
  • he
  • discovers
  • that
  • what
  • appeared
  • a
  • mindless
  • act
  • was
  • actually
  • something
  • far
  • more
  • sinister.
  • And
  • now
  • he
  • has
  • left
  • his
  • unborn
  • child
  • and
  • family
  • unprotected,
  • just
  • when
  • they
  • need
  • him
  • most.A
  • vast
  • host
  • of
  • warriors
  • is
  • at
  • the
  • gates
  • of
  • Helvik,
  • and
  • with
  • Gunnarr
  • gone,
  • nothing
  • and
  • no
  • one
  • stands
  • against them…
