As they fight for the throne of Norway, the land is torn apart by fierce rivals, shifting loyalties, and bloody betrayals. With war looming and chaos consuming the kingdom, drawing in the ruthless Kings of other Scandinavian countries, and even a powerful English ruler, the stage is set for a thundering, cataclysmic, compelling, and utterly magical new Norse Saga.<\/p>\n<p>Karlis Arnolds Avots (<em>January, Soviet Jeans, Ulya<\/em>) plays &#8220;Egil,&#8221; a poet, farmer, murderer, sorcerer, ladies&#8217; man, and a bit of a psychopath, he is seeking revenge on Bloodaxe for the exile of his family to Iceland by Erik&#8217;s father, King Harald Fairhair.<\/p>\n<p>Rod Hallett (<em>Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles De Menezes, The Tudors, Outlander<\/em>) plays &#8220;Athelstan,&#8221; the shrewd and powerful King of Wessex, who is also a formidable warrior. Years ago, he formed a strategic alliance with King Harald Fairhair concerning his young son Haakon, and has been grooming him for future leadership, to ensure his influence extends beyond Wessex.<\/p>\n<p>Alina Tomnikov (Donna, <em>Funeral for a Dog, The Worst Idea Ever<\/em>) portrays the dual role of both &#8220;Greta&#8221; and &#8220;The Seer.&#8221; &#8220;Greta&#8221; is an esteemed shield maiden and a close member of Bloodaxe&#8217;s trusted group of warriors. However, it&#8217;s revealed that she has the ability to transform into the form of an ancient woman, known as The Seer, who possesses an all-seeing power, and the ability to divine the future as ordained by the gods themselves.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3741970624\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sisse Marie (<em>Rebel Moon, Siren, The Lost Princess<\/em>) is &#8220;Thyra,&#8221; the Queen of Denmark, wife of Gorm, and mother to Gunnhild.
