After the goddess Hel is banished for defying Odin, Lord of Asgard, a fierce struggle begins within the realm of the Norse Gods. Not willing to accept her fate, Hel raises an army of resurrected Viking warriors and unleashes her forces upon the mortal realm of Midgard to wipe out all of humanity. Will she succeed in bringing about Ragnarok, the apocalyptic battle that that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves? There is only one hope for stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind: Skarin, a promising but deeply flawed young warrior. Burdened with this task, he wonders why the Gods have chosen him above all others to overcome Hel's wrath.
