In "The Whale Road," the first book of Robert Low's Oathsworn series, young Orm Rurikson joins his estranged father's notorious crew, the Oathsworn, on the Fjord Elk. Hired as relic-hunters by merchant rulers, they embark on a quest for a legendary sword crucial to the rising Christian faith. Guided only by a young girl, their journey leads them across treacherous waters to the cursed treasure of Attila the Hun. As the influence of the Norse Gods wanes and Christianity spreads, the Oathsworn's mission tests the bonds of their brotherhood.
