A throne room soaked in blood brings Prince Canute a crown and a purpose-the establishment of a paradise on Earth in defiance of God, at any cost-but deprives Thorfinn of everything he's built his life upon. Now a broken young man, Thorfinn labours far from the battlefield, clearing a forest for his slave master's farm alongside the amiable Einar.  But a sudden and brutal tragedy will shock Thorfinn out of his apathy, and force him to answer the question, "Do I still want to live?" Meanwhile, Canute plots to become ruler of the entire Danish world. Includes volumes 10-12 of the Japanese edition of Vinland Saga and new bonus content.
