Kristen Haardrad, daughter of a viking merchant, sneaks away on her brother's boat in search of love and adventure. Disguised as a boy, Kristen tries to aid her brother and their friends as they get caught on a raid and is captured by Royce of Wyndhurst. Soon, after making Kristen a slave along with her viking companions, Royce discovers that Kristen is a woman and assumes she is their whore.
