Wolf, the Norse King, is a scoundrel and a thief. He steals the contents of the English Earl's tax wagon claiming it was stolen from peasants and the church so he merely robbed thieves. He abducts a beautiful young woman, Abigail, then tries to convince her the change will be good for her. He has the uncanny ability to justify anything he does. She has a fiery temper and will not let him take control.
