Eine Nachricht warnt Häuptling Gorm Grymme und Thyra Danebod: Ein gewaltiges Kriegsheer aus Schweden, Angelsachsen und germanischen Stämmen zieht gen Haithabu. Thyra ist schon längst keine Sklavin und Feindin mehr, sondern eine hart ausgebildete Kriegerin. Die Prophezeiung der Göttin Freyja lässt Hoffnung aufkeimen: "Thyra wird die Wikingerfrauen im Kampf gegen die Feinde anführen und den Danewall ausbauen. Sie ist von uns Göttern auserwählt." Feinde kommen jedoch nicht nur übers Meer und Land. Die Neider in den eigenen Reihen sind mächtig.
