976 AD – Northern Europe. Bj�lf and the viking crew of the ship Hrafn flee up an unknown river after a bitter battle, only to find themselves in a bleak land of pestilence. The dead don’t lie
down, but become what the villagers call draugr – the undead – returning to feed on the flesh of their kin. Terrible stories are told of a dark castle in a hidden fjord, and of black ships that
come raiding with invincible draugr berserkers. And no sooner has Bj�lf resolved to leave, than the black ships appear... Now stranded, his men cursed by the contagion of walking death, Bj�lf
has one choice: fight his way through a forest teeming with zombies, invade the castle and find the secret of the horrific condition – or submit to an eternity of shambling, soulless undeath!
