Plot Overview:

Set in the brutal northern wilderness during the twilight of the Viking Age, SKAL: Fight for Survival follows a scattered clan of Norse warriors betrayed by their own king and left for dead in foreign, hostile territory.

As winter descends and danger closes in from all sides—mercenaries, wild beasts, rival clans—Erik Thorsson, a disgraced jarl’s son, must rally the remnants of his people to fight their way home. Alongside him: a völva (seeress) with visions of Ragnarök, and a mute warrior whose scars hide a secret past.

But survival will demand more than strength—it will require sacrifice, unity, and the will to embrace the beast within.

“They came to conquer. They stayed to survive.”

Post-Credit Tease:

A raven lands on a battlefield of the dead. In the distance, the glow of a fire giant’s eyes illuminates the mountains—hinting that this battle was only the beginning of something mythic.
